Baby Finger Food: Minty Pea Risotto Cakes

A message for risotto lovers everywhere… do not throw away your leftovers! This recipe may seem labour intensive, because it takes you from the beginning, but you can make risotto cakes out of any variety of risotto. I would highly recommend having yourself a lovely minty pea risotto dinner and using what’s left to make some cakes the following day. Perfect appetizers, snacks or baby finger food.

My boys have been eating a lot of spices recently so I thought it was time to introduce them to a new herb flavour… mint. And peas are my official favourite vegetable, so I need the twins on board from an early age, or we’re going to have a lot of grumpy faces later on.
