what is arborio rice substitute
Risotto is simply the name of a cooking method for grains. You can use any grain you want, barley, any kind of rice, quinoa, etc. And yes I have made barley risotto, and quinoa risotto among others. Rissoto is not a certain dish or recipe, like way too many people think it is.he reason you normally would want to use Arborio or Carnaroli is because they have a higher amount of amylopectin, a sticky starch that promotes the creaminess and texture of risotto, as compared with other rices that have a higher amount of amylose, a dry starch.
