Page 8 October 25 , 2012 W ith Halloween just around the corner I thought it would be cool to make a and how to bang them pumpkin brown rice and bacon risotto. by Chef Shafer Now classically risottos are made with Italian rice called Arborio. It is a round almost pearl shaped rice. In Italy risotto is served as a primi or first course. It’s the method of cooking the rice by adding broth till it reaches a creamy consistency that makes it such special dish. It then can be flavored any way you wish with different cheeses or different flavored broths or herbs. But in today’s kitchen risotto has become a cooking method more than an actual dish. Now you’ll see on menus corn risottos, potato risottos, and grain risottos. Here is my pumpkin risotto.
