Arborio Rice Recipes

Arborio rice is a short-grain Italian rice best known for making risotto. Its plump grains release starch as they cook, creating a creamy texture while still keeping a tender bite at the center.

Use Arborio rice in classic mushroom risotto, seafood risotto, lemon Parmesan risotto, rice pudding, creamy soups, and baked rice dishes. It works especially well in recipes that call for gradual liquid absorption and frequent stirring.

Unlike long-grain rice, Arborio is not meant to cook up fluffy and separate. For the best results, toast it briefly in butter or olive oil, then add warm broth in stages so the grains become glossy, creamy, and flavorful.
