Risotto Recipe for Healthy Appetites

Posted by Jeff Flynt on

If you've never tried risotto, let me tell you, you're seriously missing out. At least the good ones (I understand some can easily be made badly).

But given that we all should try to find healthier eating options whenever possible, risotto has always presented a challenge.

This recipe from the Seattle Times seems to have found a way to make it using brown rice.

Normally, you want to use Arborio rice to make risotto. The starchy quality of the grains helps give the dish its creamy texture.

Brown rice doesn't release as much starch during the cooking process, which can become problematic.

It's an easy recipe, but risotto is more about patience. Take your time, love the dish you're making and the results will bear that out.
