Risotto al Salto
This is a wonderful way to use up leftover risotto, particularly simple risottos such as Risotto Parmesan or Risotto Milanese. We lived in Milan for eight years and often saw this tasty dish on many restaurant menus.
The exterior is crisp and golden brown, while the interior remains creamy and soft. You really do not need an exact recipe to create this dish if you follow a few basic principles. I find a cast iron frying pan works best for this recipe if you have one.
Buon Appetito!

A wonderful way to use up leftover risotto!
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Leftover Risotto
- 4 Tablespoons Butter
- Grated Parmesan Cheese
Instructions
- In a heavy saucepan, heat the butter until it is bubbly hot.
- Press the risotto into a disc no more than 1/2 an inch thick in the pan.
- Let the risotto cook until the first side becomes crispy and golden brown.
- Turn over to cook the other side. (I find it easiest to do this by placing a plate over the rice that just covers the rice disc and then simply flip it over.
- I then slide the risotto back into the frying pan to cook it as well.)
- Once both sides are golden brown, sprinkle it with grated Parmesan cheese and serve.
