Do you cheat when you make risotto?

As for you Luka, I never cheat while making risotto. I always stir while my own husband stands behind, kissing my neck and cheeks!

no wonder you like to cook!!!

When I first saw this thread topic, I was envisioning illicit stovetop romance... you meant do we take shortcuts. I get it, now. No.

I never heard of that, Helgaleena. I sometimes make a rice as follows: Add sliced sausage to a skillet, when the fat is released, add to the fat a little anatto-colored oil, sliced onions, recaito (onions, garlic, recao, cilantro, and bell peppers minced and combined, sat until flavors blend),very finely slivered mushrooms, and rice. When the rice is quite orange, and just before is scorches, add stock-wine-water mixture (beef stock for beef sausage, chicken for chicken sausage- I do not eat pork at this time). When the rice is done, after it's been steaming with the fire off, I pour in frozen green peas, stir, and cover until the peas thaw. This is my take on my mother-in-law's recipe for rice with polish sausage.

Is this the same idea as pulao? If not, can you link to what you would consider a good formula for it? I'm always interested in food I have never heard of.

Here is a link to a basic matar pulao, or south Asian style rice and peas. But your way is how they make Cajun 'dirty rice' and 'Spanish rice' too.

Jamaican rice and peas is more like the melange called 'khichri' which translates as 'hash' or 'mishmash'. That takes split peas or lentils instead of fresh peas.

Sorry Luka, I am way off topic. Risotto lovers are very particular about how to do it, but I am not such a big risotto fan.

Thank you helgaleena! You sure know a lot about rice! You are right about my rice having Spanish origin: My in-laws are from Puerto Rico.
