Lemon and Herb Risotto Cake Recipe

Place the leek and 3 tablespoons of the chicken stock in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil and cook for about 5 minutes until leek is tender. Add the rice and the remaining chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until all of the liquid has been absorbed.

Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch springform pan.

When the rice is tender remove the pan from the heat and stir in the lemon zest chives parsley and mozzarella cheese. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into the springform pan and spread evenly. Cover the top of the pan with aluminum foil.

Bake for 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven or until firm and lightly browned. Run a thin spatula or knife around the outer edge of the pan and invert the cake onto a serving plate. Serve hot or cold sliced into wedges. Garnish with parsley and lemon wedges.
