When you don’t know what to do and are in the mood for a tasty, beautiful and complete and balanced first course or one-course meal, Venere rice turrets with almond cream and tomatoes<\/strong>\u00a0are definitely a possible answer, even fun to prepare together with me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Discovering Venere rice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you know that Venere rice is an all-Italian product<\/strong>? It is the first Italian brown rice born, cultivated and processed exclusively in the historical rice-growing lands of Piedmont and the beautiful Tirso Valley in Sardinia.<\/p>\n

It was the seed co-operative\u00a0Sapise<\/strong> (Sardo Piemontese Sementi) that in 1997 crossed a very hardy local white rice variety with a black Asian variety that could not be cultivated in Italy, resulting in this rice that was named Venere after the planet in our solar system, but also after the goddess of love for its alleged aphrodisiac powers (in Asia, these properties are attributed to the black colour of the rice!). The trademark is registered and you can find all the information by clicking on this link: https:\/\/www.risovenere.it\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Personally, I find the aroma and taste of Venere rice irresistible, which makes me overcome any reluctance in the face of the long cooking time, which is the characteristic of all wholegrain rice types. Well, we know that brown rice has a much lower glycemic index than white rice, so this characteristic also makes it preferable to other options.<\/p>\n

The quantities I propose for the almond and tomato cream, will certainly leave you with a little more than you need to serve the turrets, but I think it is worth making more so you can combine it with vegetable Pinzimonio and croutons as a healthy and delicious dip.<\/p>\n

One last note that certainly never hurts: Venere rice turrets are also a treat for the eyes!<\/p>\n
