Risotto is a rich, creamy but time-consuming dish. Usually made with arborio rice, which is a short-grained white variety, this version uses brown to boost the fiber and nutrition.

    I'm going to have to make the no salt chicken soup to cut down on the amount of sodium in the recipe. I little extra work but will freeze some for other recipes. - 1/14/18

    For variety toast, fat free, the brown rice. Match the volume of Brown Rice with like volume of Arboreal Rice. After Brown Rice is toasted add the first 8 - 10 oz of stock. Stir in the Arboreal. And keep stirring and adding stock every 4 - 5 mins, (or as the stock becomes absorbed by the rice) . - 3/21/17

    Brown rice is nutritious, but I thought that I did not like it-- When I first made it, it was not good because I cooked it the same as white rice. I discovered that brown rice takes longer cooking time and requires more liquid. It is much better when cooked longer-- so I want to add this comment - 9/15/15

    I have a squash sitting on my kitchen counter right now waiting to be transformed into part of my family's dinner for tonight. Thank you for reminding me about this recipe, it is one of our favorites and I wouldn't change a thing! - 9/13/15

    I have medium grained brown rice, red chard, mushrooms, broccoli, green beans, and beans laying around in my pantry. I need to buy chicken stock, but I'll definitely be trying this, this weekend! - 3/7/15

    I've only made risotto once. It wasn't difficult or soupy. I will try making brown rice using the risotto "method" and cook including some grated and some small chunks of sweet potato with it. Then pat it all into a jellyroll pan and bake it for just a bit. Maybe some cinnamon on top? - 2/6/13

  • GRACEMCDOG

    I make risotto all the time but I've never tried it with short grained brown rice. I will definitely try that next time. I usually cook up a chopped onion first, then add either 1/2 cup red or white wine, reduce it down by half, then add the rice. It shouldn't be gummy or soupy. - 1/25/12
