Oh, yeah... forgot to say... it was HOT!! so for for any little kiddos or delicate mouths... cut back on the peppers.... he he he
k, but its called "risotto" but you used rice. i want risotto! but i can't find it at the store!! let me know if you ever do.
Details, details... risotto IS rice... just italian, but you knew that. I don't know what makes theirs different... dad didn't think it was.
isn't risotto pasta that's shaped like rice? thats a little different...
nope! Risotto is rice, or else your father has mislead me all these years.... the stuffed rice balls are called ".... stuffed risotto" but all italian
oh. i was thinking of orzo. i don't know what carrie's thinking about.
Well, she is our next Italian... he he he
Lucky for you guys I just had a friend make risotto. She said you use arborio rice. It is rice but as you cook it you add water rather than regular rice where you put it all in at the beginning. At least that's what Rachel Ray does. Oh and my friend found arborio rice at frys.
Aha!!! Now that solves the mystery! Thanks, Carrie. I will need to try to make the rice balls for dad again... I think risotto is stickier.... so can you tell if it is really a rice grain or if it is a pasta?
