Rice Polpette

Recipe:

Do you ever have leftovers and you don't quite know what to do with them? No worries! Time to be creative. Here is just a quick way to make a delicious meal by repurposing leftover risotto and creating a great dish. Simply add a few ingredients to the rice, roll each polpette in bread crumbs, place them in a preheated frying pan, and slide them into the Fontana Gas Fired Oven. Now let the oven do its magic.  Remember, COOKING IS AN ART. Be creative and don't get stifled by a strict, exact recipe. BAKING IS A SCIENCE. It is here where you need to follow closer attention to details and more exact weight in order to have a predictable result. Today it is time to be creative. Let's get started and put leftovers to good use!

Supplies:

• Mangiafuoco Gas Oven

• 3 links grilled sausage (optional)
