I add a bit more stock or broth and process the remaining risotto at a high speed until the individual rice grains have been mushed and the result is a thick, creamy "gravy" or sauce that is wonderful over steamed vegetables, chicken and most recently, pork chops. 
Once I even ladled some over a serving of rice pilaf that was a bit too dry.  I was alone, so no one around to witness my "rice on rice" shame! ;D

No worries Chelsea, it will be my pleasure.  Thanks for trying it.  So many people say they don't like canned tuna but you can do so many wonderful things with it.  I never eat it with a salad like I would with canned salmon but in a casserole or pie it is a cheap and healthy ingredient.  :-* :-*

I am the same JD. I can't eat it unless it is cooked in something and well disguised.  I persist though because it is cheap and on hand when I forget to thaw meat out.  :-))

If a sweet pudding made with the same type of rice as risotto, wouldn't that be a sweet risotto?  And couldn't it be the basis of other sweet concoctions if the speed is increased to 5 (where I process the savory risotto) with fruits, fruit juices and etc.?

Why not get a spoonful, make it into a ball and put a 1cm cube of mozzarella inside them.  Then you can crumb them and put them in the freezer for another day.  

Deep fry straight from the freezer and serve with a good Italian sauce (tomato based)

Good idea - how long do you deep fry them?

The last time I had left over risotto - I stuffed tomatoes with it. - Greek style (I think)  ;)

Just till they are a nice golden colour on the outside.
