Anyone who knows me, knows that I absolutely positively HATE to waste food. It pains me if something goes bad before I can use it or transform it into something new and exciting. Hearing the word leftovers doesn’t make me cringe. Quite the opposite in fact. I love the challenge of transforming leftover food into something different and delicious. I feel like most times, that’s is where I’m at my most creative in the kitchen.
I get that trait from my Momma. One of the most resourceful people I’ve ever known. She could open a refrigerator and pantry, and what would look like we’re going to have to order a pizza to most people, she would put together an incredibly delicious filling meal in no time at all. My Momma was my kitchen unicorn.
Transforming leftover risotto into Risotto Cakes is something she did often. That crunchy exterior and creamy interior is incredibly addictive. So amazing, you’ll forget these were leftovers to begin with.
