Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

kosher salt
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1/2 cup Greek yogurt
2 extra-large eggs
3 tablespoons minced fresh chives
1 1/2 cups grated italian Fontina cheese (5 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs (Japanese dried bread flakes)
olive oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large (4-quart) pot of water to a boil over medium-low heat and add 1/2 tablespoon salt and the Arborio rice.
  • Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 minutes. The grains of rice will be quite soft.
  • Drain the rice in a sieve and run under cold water until cool. Drain well.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the yogurt, eggs, chives, fontina, 1 1/4 teaspoons of salt, and the pepper in a medium bowl.
  • Add the cooled rice and mix well. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight, until firm.
  • When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
  • Spread the panko in a shallow dish.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat.
  • Form balls of the rice mixture using a standard (2 1/4-inch) ice-cream scoop or a large spoon. Pat the balls into patties 3 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick.
  • Place 4 to 6 patties in the panko, turning once to coat. Place the patties in the hot oil and cook, turning once, for about 3 minutes on each side until the risotto cakes are crisp and nicely browned.
  • Place on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper and keep warm in the oven for up to 30 minutes.
  • Continue cooking in batches, adding oil as necessary, until all the cakes are fried.
  • Arrange on a serving platter and serve hot.

I'm a huge fan of Ina Garten and I love her recipes. But I have to say, I was disappointed with these chive risotto cakes. They just didn't live up to my expectations.

These chive risotto cakes were a total disaster! They fell apart when I tried to flip them in the pan. I ended up throwing them out.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my chive risotto cakes turned out really mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

Not bad! I thought the chive risotto cakes were a bit bland. I added some salt and pepper to taste and they were much better.

These chive risotto cakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I might try adding more liquid next time. But the flavor was good.

I'm not a huge fan of risotto, but I really enjoyed these chive risotto cakes. They were crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the chive flavor was delicious. I would definitely make them again.
