We've all been there, leftovers put into the fridge only to be thrown out days later.  There are so many possibilities when it comes to getting creative with your ingredients. Transform your wilted greens into delicious pesto, make a staple vegetable stock from discarded trimmings, or airfry the perfect italian snack from your leftover rice. Bring new life to leftovers with our easy to follow recipes. 

Leftover Risotto

Makes: 18-20  | Preparation time: 15-20 minutes | Cooking time: 8-12 minutes

Ingredients:

·       300-400g leftover risotto

·       150-200g mozzarella, cut into small pieces

For the coating:

·       Approx. 150g plain flour

·       2-3 large free range eggs, lightly beaten

·       150-200g panko breadcrumbs

Method:

1.       Divide the leftover risotto in 18-20 equal amounts.

2.       For each ball, flatten and put a piece of the mozzarella in the centre, then enclose the cheese in the rice and roll it into a ball.  Repeat with the remaining risotto balls.

3.       Put the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into three separate bowls. Dip each risotto ball into the flour, then the eggs and finally, the breadcrumbs.

4.       Spray or brush the arancini with cooking oil and place in your Russell Hobbs Satisfry Airfryer close and set on Airfryer setting.  Cook for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown.

5.       Serve with a tomato dipping sauce.
