    Dressed Up Risotto

    About Dressed Up Risotto

    Risotto is a traditional Italian dish made with Arborio, a starchy white rice with an almost round shape. It’s grown mainly in the Po Valley of Italy but some California rice producers have started to grow it. When cooking, Arborio absorbs up to five times its weight in liquid, giving it its characteristic creamy texture. It’s not only good for risotto, but for rice puddings and Spanish paella.

    This recipe makes a good main dish or a side for grilled or broiled chicken, meat, or seafood.
