Mi esposo found a box of imported risotto mix in the back of a cupboard (we bought a lot of packaged foods at the beginning of the pandemic). Labelled Risotto Milanese with Saffron. Saturday I had a lunchtime appointment so my DH decided to make it.
Awful...so salty! But plentiful...it made 4+ cups. He barely touched it.
I told him to save it and I'd figure out a way to resurrect it. Today I added fresh corn off the cob, sautéed poblanos/onions/red peppers and a few handfuls of grated jack cheese. Threw in some panko and few eggs to bind it. Pan fried them on high heat.
These risotto cakes were tasty and crunchy. I made a lime and cilantro mayo with a dash of chipotle.
