Inspired by a 1960 classic; this side dish calls for Arborio rather than conventional rice, resulting in a chewy and creamy textire. Martha Stewart is using this dish in her mother's day luncheon menu. Didn't include cooling times.Have made a few subtle changes so that it can be vegetarian, as well. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups homemade stock or 1 1/2 cups store-bought low sodium chicken broth or 1 1/2 cups low sodium vegetable broth |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped |
