Italian Arborio
|
Imported from Italy, this rice grows in the fertile Po river valley in northern Italy. This rice is ideally suited for an authentic, wonderfully creamy risotto or may be enjoyed by itself with just some butter and Parmesan cheese. It cooks up with a creamy texture and should be served "al dente" or with the center of the grains still firm to the bite.

Cooking Directions - On the Stove
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon tub
margarine and 1 teaspoon salt per cup of uncooked rice, if desired.
Stir in 1 cup rice. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for 20 minutes or
until all water is absorbed.

Cooking Directions - In the Microwave

Add 1 tablespoon tub margarine and 1 teaspoon salt per cup of uncooked
rice, if desired. Cover and microwave on HIGH for 5 minutes. Reduce
