Chive Risotto Cakes.
This dish takes a little planning since you want the mixture to sit in the fridge for a while so I prepped everything the night before. These were cheesey and oh so yummy. I love fontina cheese. It always melts perfectly. The chives could easily be substituted for another herb, but I really liked the onion flavor.

I wanted something a little sweet to go with the risotto cakes, so I decided to try her Roasted Pears. I didn't have any port so I used red wine instead and walnuts for the pecans. Other than that, I stuck with the recipe and it was great.

Do you have a favorite Barefoot Contessa recipe I should try?
Oh wow. What an interesting combination - looks so tasty! I love Ina and make her Moroccan couscous all the time. You can find it on the Food Network site or on my blog if you google couscous. Have a great day!
