Too much risotto

[Seafog]

Had a wicked craving for risotto today, and made some.
By some , I mean enough to feed an average family of 6, there is just ds and I here for the next while!

Will it keep, and what else can I make with it?

Make arancini with it, you won't regret it!

You can also freeze it.

OMG it never occured to me to make Arancini with it. How do you do it?
@AdaColeman

And OP its 60g starter, 80g light meal, 100g dinner, 120g mega serving

I often reheat for another meal or two and have managed to do this safely for decades despite the dire warnings of the rice police.

Arancini is a good call but I can't stand all the bitty stickiness so I compromise and stir beaten egg and sometimes grated cheese and fry in flattened dollops until crispy on each side.

Wow thanks Barbara : I will give it a try

Freeze it, it microwaves fine, just add a splash of water to it before reheating.

It freezes fine but arancini is definitely the way to go.

I made risotto with n'duja paste stirred through last week and did arancini balls with mozzarella pearls in the centre with the leftovers 😋

I am so glad I asked, I had no idea you could freeze cooked rice!
How did I make it to 43 and not know that?!

I too microwave portions in a Chinese tub the day or 2 after but love it as Arancini too. BBC GoodFood has a recipe.

We are having risotto tonight!
