As pointed out in the Emacs wiki, recentf.el lacks a minibuffer

minibuffer are presented there (see

FYI - I have added your code to that Web page. Thanks. Please consider
posting it as a library to both [email protected] and
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/ElispArea.
These all use just the unstructured recentf-list. But one of the
features of recentf.el that I find most useful is the possibility
of filtering recentf-list and structuring the recent file menu in
accordance with the filter.
Here is another possible implementation I use:
(defun my-recentf-open-file-from-minibuffer (&optional arg)
"Open a recent file from the minibuffer, with completion.
Prompt for an item of the recentf menu, until a file is selected.
By default, consider only the `recentf-max-menu-items' most recent
files. \\[universal-argument] \\[my-recentf-complete] consider all
files. With optional argument ARG a positive integer, consider the
ARG most recent files."
(interactive "P")
(let* ((pr recentf-menu-title)
(tb (recentf-apply-menu-filter
recentf-menu-filter
(mapcar 'recentf-make-default-menu-element
(cond
((null arg)
(recentf-elements recentf-max-menu-items))
((natnump arg)
(recentf-elements arg))
(recentf-list)))))
(e (assoc (completing-read (concat pr ": ") tb nil t) tb)))
(while (and (consp e) (consp (cdr e)))
(setq tb (cdr e)
pr (concat pr "/" (car e))
e (assoc (completing-read (concat pr ": ") tb nil t) tb)))
(when (and (consp e) (stringp (cdr e)))
(funcall recentf-menu-action (cdr e)))))
