Breakfast Risotto Balls

November 23, 2010 by bsinthekitchen

What can you do with leftover risotto other than eat it? Make Risotto Balls and THEN eat it! As I began to get hungry again after making my breakfast risotto, I began wondering what I could make for lunch. Feeling a little lazy I was struck by inspiration and decided to make risotto balls out of my leftover Breakfast Risotto.

Breakfast Risotto Balls

  • Leftover Breakfast Risotto
  • Egg
  • Flour
  • Cereal (I used Special K Vanilla Almond)
  • Canola Oil

Making risotto balls is very simple, just put some cereal in a Ziploc bag, crush into tiny pieces and put it in a bowl. Take two other bowls with whipped egg, and another with flour and roll a heaping tablespoon of risotto into a ball, roll it in the flour, then the egg, and finally cover it with the cereal crumbs. Once you have finished covering your risotto balls, pour some canola oil into a pan on medium-high heat, and fry your risotto balls until they are nice and brown. You can also do them properly and use a deep fryer, which will do a much better job of frying them while maintaining their shape, so if you have a deep fryer, go for it!

If you are unsatisfied with your less than perfect shaped risotto balls, just smoosh them and make risotto cakes!

Hope you guys enjoy the leftovers!
Bob

    I was excited about your breakfast risotto… but these breakfast risotto balls are even better! Fantastic idea to roll them in crushed cereal.
