Risotto balls or rolls
As for the risotto rolls, well remember the pumpkin risotto? I never liked eating next day's risotto but I like even less wasting food so, when my boyfriend took me to eat in a risoto house in New York, I was more interested in the risotto balls in the grocerie nex door. We treed them and they felt great. I have beem meanig to make them at home ever sice.
Its quite simple! The risotto should be of a consistency that will allow you to shape it into balls (or rolls) and them its fritters 101: egs and bread crumbs... only I added a bit of parmigiano to the bread and I tossed the balls in the oven instead of the frying pan. I forgot to ad the fresh coriander to the bread crumbs so I added it at the end together with a sprinkling of lemon juice.
