| riso comune
Language: Italian
Description: Short grain rice. A few years ago, if you mentioned short or round-grain rice in the UK people immediately thought of rice pudding. Now, with the opening up to the world’s cuisines, the first thought would be the glutinous or sticky rice of South East Asia, Japan and China and people would think of spices and coconut. Still can’t beat a good rice pudding though!
