| Easy Risotto |
Risotto is a rice dish that uses Arborio rice, which is a short-grain rice that is high in starch. It is traditionally cooked by constant stirring and gradually adding liquid in small amounts, which releases the starch and makes it creamy.
This version allows you to cut out all the stirring and still end up with a creamy texture!
You can usually find Arborio rice in the Italian section of the grocery store.
