Unless the frankenfood scientists have already developed a strain of rice that grows on trees, I'm pretty sure she meant arborio rice, the kind used to make risotto. |
I think the idea is to be consistent...and gentle with the arborio. |
It seems some things, like the lack of arborio rice on the shelves when you have decided to cook risotto for tea, are inevitable. |
Add 2 cups of rice. Arborio rice or paella rice is best, but any rice will work. |
I knew I had a little arborio rice in the cupboard that our old roommate had left when she moved in January. |
We also went to the picturesque local shops and stocked up on tinned olive oil, dried porcini mushrooms, Lavazza coffee, Arborio rice and bottles of wine and Amaretto. |
