Risotto Cakes

Recipe #133300 | 20 min | 5 min prep | add private note

By: bluemoon downunder

Risotto Cakes made in a mini-muffin pan. A great way to use leftover risotto to make lunchbox snacks. This is one of those basic recipe ideas that you can easily adapt to use up whatever odds and ends of ingredients you have on hand. And it's a recipe that can easily be doubled. I've not frozen these, but I've always found rice dishes freeze well, so I'm sure you'll find you can also freeze them.

SERVES 6 , 12 risotto cakes (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Combine risotto, spinach, tomato (or red pepper) and seasonings in a bowl and mix well until combined.
  2. 2
    Lightly grease a mini-muffin pan or spray it with oil, spoon the mixture into the recesses until the tops are rounded, and sprinkle the risotto cakes with parmesan.
  3. 3
    Bake in a moderate oven (180ºC) for 15 to 20 minutes or until the risotto cakes are firm and golden. If serving warm, allow the risotto cakes to rest in the pan for 5 minutes before removing them from the pan.
  4. 4
    Serving Suggestions: Serve at room temperature with a salad. Or warm with grilled or BBQd meats, or as part of a vegetarian meal. If you want to serve them with a sauce, I recommend ~*Pamela*~in Winnipeg’s Mushroom Sauce for Meatballs #121093.

These were great even before topping with cheese and baking. I can't wait to try again and play around with the veggie combinations. Next time I think I will use my ramekins for a nice presentation when serving. Thanks for sharing!

    Great little side dish! I used a tomato and I think next time I will try it with red bell pepper and add some onions. I will also use much less oregano. Thanks Mordreth for posting this great recipe!

    These little gems were wonderful out of the oven. Only change I made was I used Italian seasonings, since I was out of dried oregano. Definitely a keeper, and one I'll be using again soon. (In case anyone needed a quick conversion to Fahrenheit, 180 C is approximately 350 F)
