What to do with leftover risotto? (Original post 17/06/10)

_Risotto tends to be one of those things you make way too much of and it does not reheat well on the stove or in the Thermomix. You can nuke it in the microwave if you want, however I don't own one and I dislike the concept. You can reheat in a baking dish in the oven of course, however to make a different meal I love making patties.

_Required:
Left over risotto
bread crumbs (Use up stale bread by chopping in the Thermomix for a few secs on speed 7-8)
or flour (I prefer brown rice flour as a gluten free option)
Anything else you fancy adding to the flavour
Bake on a tray lined with baking paper for 30-40 mins on 180 degrees C/moderate oven
Delicious topped with Thermomix mayonnaise
Serve with a green salad

Plain risotto patties
Mix risotto with enough breadcumbs or flour to make rolling into a ball or pattie shape easy (as opposed to a bit sticky if its just the risotto)

Risotto, celeriac and basil
Place desired amount of peeled and cubed celeriac in the Thermomix bowl, add milk or water, salt, pepper, butter/olive oil and cook on 100 degrees, speed 1 for 15mins, then mash on speed 7-8 for 10-15 secs
Mix risotto, mashed celeriac, a handful of chopped basil, season to taste with salt and pepper and a little flour or breadcrumbs
