Carnaroli Riso di Molinella Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)creamy yet not mushy. this is the ideal rice for risotto. i'm not sure what the other reviewer did to have a bad result - perhaps the rice was "shocked" with cold broth or wine (you must always heat your broth and wine before adding it) - but this stuff is the real deal. i was lucky enough to find this in two-packs at costco for 99 cents! that's $14 worth of rice for less than a dollar! still, i'd gladly pay full price, since a single cup will yield enough risotto for four people, which makes it quite economical.
my process:
heat heavy pan (i use a 3-qt sauté) and add a little olive oil (i add a little clarified butter, too)
heat a separate saucepan with at least a quart of chicken stock
add some chopped onion to the sauté pan
sauté the onions for a couple of minutes
add 1 cup of rice, stirring to coat with oil
add 1/3-1/2 cup of dry white wine, heated, stir until absorbed
keep adding stock from the saucepan until it is absorbed, one ladle at a time
after 20 mins or so, the rice will be creamy and ready to serve
i usually finish with a bit of butter and some grated parmesan and maybe some fresh ground black pepper.
at this point, you can add any extras you have (i like steamed or grilled asparagus, chopped)
