• ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• a bunch of fresh Italian flat leaf parsley
• salt and pepper

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl mix risotto, garlic, bread crumbs, Red Cayenne Olive Oil, grated parmesan cheese, egg, dried oregano, parsley, salt and pepper. Mix well and form into little patties (using a 1/8 or ¼ cup measure helps with keeping them a consistent size. Set aside.

3. Serve with additional parmesan cheese grated on top, and if you wish, with your favourite marinara sauce.
