Title: Brown Rice Risotto
Post by: Harmony on August 02, 2010, 11:27:31 pm

Anyone made risotto with brown rice? I've found a few recipies for non TMX procedure, wondering if I just increase the cooking time or liquid amount, or do it radically differently? Leave it to soak after I saute the rice?

Thanks  :D

Haven't made it in the TMX but would set the time for an extra 20 minutes or so and definitely extra liquid.  With things like mushrooms etc, I would add these with about 10 minutes to go so they don't disintegrate. 

It may help to blitz a small amount (say 2 tbsp) of the rice in the dry TM bowl at speed 9, then removing it and adding it to get some extra starch to help with the final texture. 

Worth trying.
