Turn leftovers into patties: Save a little less than half the risotto to make the following night’s dinner. Combine remaining risotto and 1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs in a bowl. Whisk 1 egg and add half to the risotto. Shape mixture into small patties. Lightly coat with some flour, roll in remaining egg and coat with breadcrumbs. Spray a frying pan with oil. Cook patties over a medium heat until golden and heated through. Serve with a salad.
