Description
Sunrize Arborio Rice - 500g -This traditional risotto rice is a round, fat pearly coloured Italian rice. During cooking the grains swell and absorb unusually large amounts of liquid and flavour. Stirring gently knocks the rice grains together, releasing the surface starch on each grain. This adds to the creamy consistency of the dish, perfect for an authentic risotto It is therefore important NOT to rinse the grain prior to cooking to retain the starchiness, hence creaminess.
The Sunrize Fact-ory
Rice is grown on every continent except Antarctica.
Usage
Great for Risotto, Paella and as a pudding rice.
Arborio rice will take about 25-30 mins to cook and the liquid needs to be stirred in little by little. A risotto should have plenty of liquid almost like a soup and paella should be quite dry.

On the Label
A delicious white Italian rice which is the basis for Risotto.
Directions for use:
Do not rinse before use as the starch is essential for a creamy Risotto. Simply fry some chopped onion in olive oil and when soft, add the rice and fry it until it has lost its ‘white’ appearance. In the meantime, have some stock simmering in another pan and ladle in a spoonful at a time, stirring the Risotto continuously and never allowing it to dry out. When the rice is cooked, beat in some Parmesan cheese and a knob of butter to make it smooth and creamy.
