Living alone, whenever I cook I am constantly plagued by leftovers. Yes, I generally enjoy what I make but even the greatest dish can become boring the third or fourth day you eat it. That's why I always get excited when I find recipes that suggest how to use leftovers.
I made this risotto al salto recipe last week and I think I like it even better than the original risotto. Go make risotto and then try out this recipe. You won't be disappointed.
Risotto Al Salto
2 cups risotto
1 tbsp butter
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
Directions:
In a bowl, mix together the risotto and the cheese. In a skillet, melt the butter and then add the risotto, pressing it into a disc. Cover and cook for five minutes. Remove cover and cook for another minute to two minutes, until the bottom is browned. Serve wedged with a salad or soup.

I still haven't tried my hand at risotto... I need to go there at some point. I just always hear Chef Ramsey screaming about ruining the risotto and I get intimidated again, haha!

ReplyDeletethree words: butternut squash risotto. liz, you know what i'm talking about, lol:D
ReplyDeleteI am so with you on changing up leftovers! I love this! You can also roll leftover risotto into a ball, then cover it in bread crumbs and bake it. Your dish looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteMmm that sounds good. I love making leftovers more exciting!
ReplyDeleteI love making risotto and this looks like a very creative way to handle leftovers. However, in my house, we usually don't have leftovers when I make risotto. We love it!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds awesome...now if only I could get up enough nerve to make risotto!
ReplyDeleteoh that definitely looks like something I'd enjoy eating a few days in a row! ) I always freeze leftovers so that I can have them later on and not burn out eating it everyday!
ReplyDeleteI often eat alone, and hubbs and I are only two people. I love to make big quantities of stuff and freeze them in individual portions. THen, when you are not in the mood, you don't have to cook.
