Rice with Zucchini
Origin: Florence, Italy
Source: Pellegrino Artusi, 1891
Ingredients
- small zucchini
- rice
- butter
- salt
- pepper
- broth or water
- tomato sauce (No. 125)
- parmesan
Instructions
- Cut small zucchini (equal weight to the rice) into hazelnut-sized chunks and sweat in butter with salt and pepper until barely browned.
- When the rice is half-cooked, add the still-firm zucchini so they finish together; keep the rice barely soupy and the zucchini intact.
- For a dry version, cook in water and flavour with tomato sauce (No. 125) at the halfway point, plus parmesan.
