Savory pastries made with leftover risotto. Have you often wondered what to do with leftover risotto? A good risotto rarely has leftovers, but it can happen, and then what do you do? Simple: you turn it into something tasty and different like a Rice tart made from leftover risotto, a Filled puff pastry with leftover risotto, a Risotto in a puff pastry crust, or make some delicious savory pastries using a roll of homemade puff pastry, perfect as a dinner saver or appetizer. The other day I had made a delicious risotto with mozzarella and tomato, but my son forgot to tell me he wouldn’t be back for lunch and the risotto stayed on the plate. To avoid wasting it, that evening I turned it into tasty pastries that were snapped up—are you curious to discover what to do with leftover risotto? Follow me in the kitchen and I’ll explain the recipe for my savory pastries made with leftover risotto. But before heading to the kitchen, I remind you that if you want to stay updated on all my recipes, you can follow my Facebook page (here) and my Instagram profile (here).

How to store leftover risotto? It’s simple: if you plan to eat it the same day, after it has cooled, cover it with plastic wrap and leave it at room temperature; if instead you intend to use it the next day, or at most two days later, once cooled and covered with plastic wrap, place it in the fridge.
