RISI E BISI

To we English speakers, risi e bisi sounds more romantic than rice and peas, the translation of this Venetian phrase. But rice and peas is basically what this is. Okay, it's vialone nano rice - along with carnaroli, one of the two best varieties of rice for risotto. And there's a bit more going on here than simply mixing it with peas - baby leeks sautéed in butter, garlic, home made chicken stock, vialone nano rice, finely chopped celery leaves, peas, salt, pepper and parmesan to finish. But at the end of the day it is essentially rice and peas. Delicious.
