  • Not Risotto

    While in Italian, risotto mean rice in general, the dish risotto refers specifically to rice that has been stired while cooking, adding the liquid in increments. This cooking method pulls out the starch from the rice, creating a creamy sauce for the risotto. What this recipes is describing is a pilaf, where rice is coated with a fat (you also usually coat the rice with fat in risotto), and then all the liquid is added at once and not stirred. Pilafs are often baked, but not always.

    As a culinarian, it drives me nuts when people use fancy cooking terms incorrectly trying to make thier dish sound more appealing.

    Other than that, nice recipes, sounds delicious.
