Hey! It’s Juli again and I am so satisfied to be right here. I required to share some thing we have been ingesting all summer time extensive. Curiously, I to start with read about the dish in a neighborhood cooking group Penny extra me to several years back, so it appears to be only fitting that she is permitting me share it with you all.
So what is Insalata di Riso? Properly, it translates to pretty significantly what it seems like, Rice Salad. It’s an Italian Dish that is eaten via the summer season for a light food. But I’ve found out it’s good all yr round, primarily when you want some thing tasty and straightforward to make. It’s also terrific as a leftover makeover and a fridge cleaner. I enjoy applying this recipe as a way to use up leftover rice that I may not have ample of for a full meal on its have, or I want to elevate it, or each.
As I mentioned it’s good for cleaning out the fridge also. Most of the unique goods you only require a little of and not any a single of them is going to make or break. It’s the wide variety of pickled products and fresh veggies that are the heart of this dish. From time to time I swap all around the tomatoes, have a handful of cherry tomatoes? Throw them in! Leftover chopped salami? That much too! Seriously, it is best for following a party when you have leftover charcuterie. I have a regional charcuterie business enterprise so I have these products on hand, when I get small or want to use stuff up, or have a bash, I chop up all the extra tidbits on hand and have a total new food. Any form of olives get the job done, something additional you have pickled on your board can be thrown in. Use it all!
If you never have pickled artichokes that is fine if you have frozen artichoke hearts you can check out cubing them and tossing them in.
