Notes
Arborio rice is the rice of choice when making risotto. This Italian-grown rice is shorter and plumper than most short-grain rice, and because of its high starch content, it yields risotto's creamy texture when cooked. Arborio rice is sold in most supermarkets, but you can also substitute long- or whole-grain rice for Arborio.
