Crispy Garlic Risotto Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl add the leftover risotto, eggs, corn, bread crumbs, and Parmesan and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix to combine well. Form into 12 balls about the size of a walnut, then flatten into patties and arrange on a baking sheet.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the patties and cook until they are golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Remove the patties from the oil to a baking sheet lined with a brown bag or paper towels to drain the excess oil. Transfer to a serving tray and serve hot.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F. Toss garlic cloves with 2 teaspoons olive oil in small baking dish. Cover with aluminum foil. Bake until garlic is tender, about 30 minutes. Uncover and bake until garlic is very tender, about 10 minutes longer. Cool garlic; peel. Puree half of garlic in processor. Thinly slice remaining garlic. Set garlic puree and slices aside.
• Bring 4 cups water to simmer in medium saucepan. Reduce heat to low, cover and keep hot.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in geavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. add onion; sauté until tender, about 3 minutes. Add rice; stir until golden, about 3 minutes. Add wine; stir until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup hot water. Adjust heat so that liquid bubbles gently. Stir until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding hot water 1 cup at a time until rice is just tender and mixture is very thick, simmering until liquid is absorbed before each addition and stirring frequently, about 25 minutes. Transfer risotto to large bowl. Cool 30 minutes.
• Mix cheese, parsley and garlic puree and slices into risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate until cold, about 2 hours.
• Shape risotto into six 3-inch-diameter patties, 3/4 inch thick, using about 1/3 cup risotto for each. Place risotto cakes on baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate 1 hour. (Can be prepared 8 hours ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
• Place all purpose flour in shallow dish. Lightly coat each risotto cake with flour. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add 3 risotto cakes and cook until golden brown and heated through, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer risotto cakes to plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and 3 risotto cakes. Transfer risotto cakes to platter and serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a simmer. In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the onion and saute for 5 minutes or until soft. Add the rice and stir until coated.
• Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the wine. Cook, stirring constantly for 4 minutes or until wine is absorbed. Add about 1 cup chicken stock (enough to just cover the rice) and cook, stirring constantly, until the stock is absorbed. Continue adding stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring until it is absorbed before adding more. The rice is done when it is just cooked through and lightly bound with creamy liquid, about 15 minutes.
• Remove risotto from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and scallion. Spread risotto evenly in a greased sheet pan and refrigerate until very firm, at least 4 hours or overnight.
• In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Form risotto cakes by shaping handfuls of risotto into 3 x 1/2 inch disks. Dredge the cakes in flour to coat. Saute cakes in hot oil until golden.
