About Risotto
|
Risotto is a typical Italian
dish made with rice. It represents one of the noblest and in the same time
one of the most common ways of cooking rice in Italy. Risotto originated
in the Northwest of the country, in particular in Eastern Piedmont and
Western Lombardy, where rice pads are abundant; it is therefore one of
the pillars of the Torinese and Milanese cooking. What is typical of risotto
is the toasting of the rice before the broth is added; other dishes exist
that are similar, but they should not be called "risotto" if the toasting
of the rice is not performed.
Note: the
rice for risotto should be from the Italian cultivated varieties Carnaroli
or Superfino Arborio or Roma; other varieties will give a worse result;
anyway avoid Basmati and above all avoid parboiled rice.
