I just love risotto. Each time I make it, I make extra so I have leftovers that I can repurpose into other delicious dishes. Here are my four favorite ways to use leftover risotto:

1. Fresh Mozzarella-Stuffed Arancini – the deep-fried, risotto-filled balls have a crunchy outer crust and a creamy, fresh Mozzarella-stuffed center. Click for recipe.
2. Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms – risotto fills the caps of large portobello mushrooms which are then baked to melt a cheesy topping. Click for recipe.
3. Risotto Cakes – the pan-fried cakes are a perfect pairing for so many things. Click here for recipe.
4. Chicken Risotto Soup – the wine and Parmesan flavors of the risotto give this simple soup a deep, rich taste. Click for recipe.
