Black Ebano rice is a brand new rice variety that was developed 100% in Italy.
You probably already know Riso Venere, which originally comes from China. In comparison, Riso Nero Ebano has a smaller grain of rice and therefore cooks faster (in about 30 minutes). Ebano rice is also more aromatic than the other black rice varieties on the market.
Black rice is particularly suitable for cold dishes, rice salad or as a side dish with fish and meat.
If you want to make a risotto out of it, pre-cook the rice for about 10 minutes (water or steamer) and then prepare it like a risotto:
- Sauté onions and garlic in olive oil. If you like, you can add boletus, artichokes, dried tomatoes, etc.
- Add the pre-cooked rice (WELL DRAINED) and stir-fry until all the oil is absorbed.
- Deglaze with 3dl dry white wine (stirring) and let the wine evaporate.
- Add bouillon: twice the amount of rice.
- If you like, add saffron just before the end and season with pepper or chilli.
- At the end, stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter (I always use a little more than necessary).
- Serve with parmesan.
Enjoy!
