30 Paella is a simple Spanish dish! Originally cooked in the fields, ingredients were snails, rabbit or duck and whatever. Evolved to become a Spanish national culinary treasure. Like any treasure there is a great deal of discussion of what it should-should not be. If cooked properly it is great fresh, a few hours later or even the next day.

37 Risotto " Risotto is an Italian rice dish, most popular in the north of Italy. Historically, risotto is the name given to all recipes that use rice as the main component and are served as first dish in a traditional Italian lunch or dinner as usually pasta also is. Rice, arriving in Italy six centuries ago from the Far East, found an ideal location to its cultivation in the Po river plain and during the Renaissance gradually substituted rye, barley and millet for its ease of preparation and nutritious power. Its diffusion across the country gave origin to hundreds of recipes which contain components of different local cultures. But the founder of all risotti is the Milan risotto, also called saffron risotto.

38 More on Risotto" Risotto is made by briefly sautéing the rice in olive oil or butter (often with some onion), then adding a little bit of stock, stirring almost constantly until the rice absorbs the stock, then adding a bit more stock, stirring, adding, stirring, adding until it s done. It usually takes between 20 and 30 minutes of stirring. When it s done, the rice is cooked through and bound in a wonderful creamy sauce that is made as the starch leaches out of the rice grains and combines with the stock.

39 More Risotto notes " Today, I will demonstrate Risotto with California rice best made with short- or premium medium-grain rice which have creamy and texture traits that resemble traditional Italian varieties like Arborio, Carnaroli and Vialone Nano. Today, various types of Arborio from California and Italy are widely available in grocery stores in the U.S. There are countless versions of risotto vegetable risottos, fish risottos, meat & poultry risottos, all kinds of cheese risottos, and exotic classic dishes, such as Rose Petal Risotto, Champagne Risotto, Risotto with Zucchini Flowers, Lobster Risotto and, certainly a showstopper, Risotto with White Truffles.

43 Arroz con Pollo! ("rice with chicken" in Spanish) is a traditional dish that is common throughout Latin America and The Caribbean, especially in Cuba, Columbia, Panama, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Honduras, and the Dominican Republic. Ingredients include rice, beer, stock, sofrito ( a mix of vegetables and fresh herbs), chicken, and saffron or annatto (seeds of the achiote). Considered to be a Puerto Rican unofficial national dish, "arroz con pollo" or "rice with chicken" is claimed to be native to Puerto Rico. The dish has roots in the motherland of Spain. Arroz con pollo dates back to the eighth century when the Moors occupied Spain and influenced the way they imported and exported goods, along with the way they ate. Many other ingredients the Spanish added were beef, pork (chorizo or linguica), rice, wheat, and olive oil to the island.

48 Sushi! The origin of sushi is not Japan. It is said that sushi was introduced into Japan in the 7th century from China. Is sushi equal to raw fish? No. Raw fish is called sashimi in Japan and is not the same as sushi. Sushi indicates foods that use rice seasoned with sweet rice-wine vinegar. Of course, raw fish is the most popular ingredient in sushi, but the main element of sushi is Japanese sticky rice. There are many kinds of sushi, which don't include raw fish. Cooked fish, shellfish, and various other ingredients can be combined in sushi.

49 Sushi! People began making sushi to preserve fish by fermentation when there were no refrigerators. Since salt and rice were needed in order to ferment fish, sushi became to be closely related to rice in Japan. Kansai style incorporated cooked ingredients. However, Edomae-zushi, known as Tokyo style (originated in Tokyo) uses raw fish. This style was imported in the early sixties and evolved due to the creativity of chefs, who substituted items that were out of season and adjusted their traditional recipes to accommodate increasing numbers of American customers.
