I think the idea is to be consistent...and gentle with the arborio. |
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. |
That cooks for four minutes and then we add 2 cups of Arborio rice. |
The risotto was something of a success with a delicious combination of savoury Arborio rice and caramelised onions. |
Carnaroli is considered the most tolerant of the risotto rices and less glutinous than Arborio or vialone nano but any of these will do very well. |
It seems some things, like the lack of arborio rice on the shelves when you have decided to cook risotto for tea, are inevitable. |
