Spring is here and it’s time to bring it to our tables! I love comfort food all year round, not only in the colder months, and this week’s recipe is something I like to make when the sun starts shining high and I feel like something fresh, seasonal but as lovely and heartwarming as the hug from a friend…
Risi e Bisi — literally “rice and peas” in Venetian dialect — is a traditional dish from the Veneto, which straddles the line between risotto and soup. It is usually prepared in spring when fresh peas, its key ingredient with rice, are abundant.
