Risotto Cakes with Cherry Tomatoes

These stick-to-your-ribs rice cakes are crispy on the outside and pleasantly soft on the inside. The accompanying tomatoes add a slight acidic counterpoint along with a splash of vibrant color. For a subtle variation, use a mixture of yellow and red cherry tomatoes. Accompany the cakes with a salad of fresh seasonal greens or a colorful fruit salad.
