Risotto Cakes!
So I made dirty risotto yesterday and had quite a bit leftover. Now we all know that leftover risotto is horrible. Gummy, mushy nastiness. Pondered a bit and came up with the idea of risotto cakes! Thought up a decent procedure and was excited to try it out the next day. First began by adding extra sausage to it cause, c’mon, who doesn’t like sausage? Then some flour, an egg, and chives. Mixed it together by hand and thought it was still a little too loose so added some more. Then it was too sticky so I was all oh crap. Added a little bit more flour then tried my best to form it into a patty shape. Made two this was then coated them with panko and fried them up! The leftovers I added some broken up crackers then did the same.
Oh my god. They were amazing. Still a little gummy but you might actually mistake that for cheesiness. Wolfed down three and gave the last to my roommate. Man it feels great to make something good without following a recipe even if it was fairly simple. Though the next time I make them I may do a different procedure. Possibly just a simple breading station since the risotto is already thick. Sadly though I was only able to get one picture. Didn’t even think about snapping one while making it and I ate them way too fast to get anything better. Once I get a better camera I’ll be more responsible about that. Right now I’m just feeling things out anyway.
Man I want more..
