he simplicity of the rice grain has<br />
filled our bellies for thousands<br />
of years. Arborio, the rice used<br />
specifically for risotto-style dishes,<br />
is an Italian, short-grain rice with a<br />
high starch content, which provides<br />
a creamy and chewy finish.<br />
Arborio is a versatile cooking staple. It is<br />
easy to cook with and pairs with virtually<br />
every flavour combination, making it handy<br />
to have as a pantry staple. It’s inexpensive,<br />
and I don’t know of anyone who doesn’t like<br />
rice. You can make it in large batches for a<br />
crowd, and it’s easy to reheat for leftovers.<br />
These two recipes showcase both sides of<br />
this exquisite grain. These are just starting<br />
ideas. Substitute your favourite flavours<br />
and foods to make them your own.<br />
