Buy now: Organic risotto rice 5kg
Pizza and pasta are so often under the spotlights, when it comes to Italian cuisine, that risotto is often forgotten – which is a pity! If properly prepared, risotto can be an incredibly special and delicious dish. Creamy and soft, but still al dente, a perfect risotto will always make a great impression on your guests. But if you are always ending up with something mushy and porridge-looking, do not despair: you might be simply have been using the wrong rice. Buy white risotto rice from KoRo in the UK now!
Which type of risotto rice?
Arborio, Carnaroli, and Vialone Nano are the original, traditional risotto rice types. The round or oval tiny grains contain a particularly high amount of starch, and they have the peculiarity of keeping their bite even when the result is soft and creamy; this combination is crucial for accomplishing the typical and unique texture of a perfect Italian risotto. In a traditional Italian risotto, olive oil, Parmesan, and butter are a must, but if you want, you can easily make a vegan risotto recipe with plant-based fat and yeast flakes. The general rule for ingredients is: Whatever tastes good is allowed. And because we love to give recommendations, we recommend white asparagus risotto, coconut milk risotto or a traditional mushroom risotto.
Cooking risotto rice
The basic risotto recipe is always the same and takes just 20-25 minutes if well prepared: Do not wash the risotto rice beforehand and do not cook it normally in water. Instead, sauté the raw risotto rice in a pot or pan with onions in olive oil and/or butter. After a minute you can deglaze with white wine. At the same time, simmer 1-2 litres of stock or vegetable broth in a second pot. Add this(these) gradually to the risotto rice. The ratio of risotto rice to liquid is crucial: only add enough hot stock so that the rice grains are just covered with liquid. While the risotto rice is simmering on medium heat, repeat the process, stirring gently. After 20-25 minutes of cooking, the rice is done. If the risotto moves viscously from your cooking spoon, the consistency is ideal. You can round it off with grated parmesan and a little butter.

Production
Hättest Du’s gewusst? In Italien befindet sich das größte europäische Reis-Anbaugebiet. Bereits im 15. Jahrhundert fand das wichtige Grundnahrungsmittel Einzug in die Gegend zwischen Piemont und Lombardei. Über 400 Jahre wurde in dem Flachgebiet, der fruchtbaren Po-Ebene, nur eine einzige Sorte angebaut. Mittlerweile sind es einige Dutzend, darunter natürlich auch hochwertiger Risotto-Reis.
Als Reis werden die Getreidekörner der Oryza sativa bezeichnet. Die einjährige Reispflanze kann zwischen 50 und 160 Zentimeter hoch werden. Aus jeder Pflanze wachsen 10 bis 20 schmale Rispen, die jeweils bis zu 200 Reiskörner tragen können. Ein Reiskorn besteht aus einem Keimling, dem Mehlkörper und dem sogenannten Silberhäutchen.
Meist von Hand werden vorgekeimte Reiskörner auf den Reisfeldern verteilt. Beim dominierenden Nassreisanbau wird das vorbereitete Feld im Anschluss unter Wasser gesetzt. Das Wasser schützt die Pflanzen vor Unkraut und Schädlingen. Zudem gleicht es starke Temperaturunterschiede zwischen Tag und Nacht aus. Reis ist ursprünglich keine Wasserpflanze, hat sich in den letzten Jahrtausenden jedoch meisterhaft an die Bedingungen angepasst.
In den letzten Monaten haben sich an den grünen Halmen Rispen entwickelt. Hier wächst der Reis heran. Je nach Sorte braucht Reis zwischen drei und acht Monaten, bis er geerntet werden kann. Sind die Reiskörner ausgreift, werden die Felder trockengelegt. Innerhalb weniger Tage verwandelt sich das Feld von saftigem Grün in schimmerndes Gelb-Braun. Die Ernte kann beginnen. Ein Feld nach dem anderen wird mit Hand-Sicheln geerntet, die Pflanzen gebündelt und abtransportiert. Mittlerweile gibt es zur anstrengenden, manuellen Ernte mancherorts maschinelle Alternativen.
Wenn die Früchte getrocknet sind und sich der Wassergehalt drastisch reduziert hat, können die Trockenfrüchte abgefüllt werden und sich endlich auf den Weg zu Dir machen.
Zwischen Ernte und verzehrfähigem Reis bedarf es noch mehrere Schritte der Verarbeitung. Nach der Ernte müssen die Reiskörner zunächst trocknen. Für die Weiterverarbeitung dürfen sie noch maximal 16% Feuchtigkeit enthalten. Das entstandene Zwischenprodukt wird ‚Roh-Reis‘ oder ‚Paddyreis‘ genannt. Die Reiskörner haben zu diesem Zeitpunkt ihre Spelzen noch. Sie bilden eine Art Schale und schützen das Reiskorn vor Umwelteinflüssen.
Ist der Reis trocken genug, wird mit der Verarbeitung in der Reismühle begonnen. Im ersten Schritt gilt es den Reis von den Spelzen zu befreien. Diese machen rund 20% des ursprünglichen Gewichtes aus. Sind sie beseitigt, kommt die eigentliche Reisfrucht zum Vorschein. Sie besteht aus Mehlkörper, Keimling und Silberhäutchen. Als Naturraus oder Vollkornreis findet Reis in dieser Form Einzug in die Küche.
Für weißen Reis, wie unseren Risotto-Reis, werden zusätzlich das Silberhäutchen und der Keimling entfernt. Dafür werden die Reiskörner meist an Steinen gerieben. Nach dem glättenden Polieren ist unser Risotto-Reis fertig. Er wird eingetütet und ist bereit, von Dir gekocht zu werden.
