The Etruscan language (/ÉªËtrÊskÉn/)[3] was the spoken and written language of the Etruscan civilization, in Italy, in the ancient region of Etruria (modern Tuscany plus western Umbria and northern Latium) and in parts of Campania, Lombardy, Veneto, and Emilia-Romagna, where the Etruscans were later displaced by Gauls.
Risotto also has a reputation for being fussy and time-consuming. It's true that once you start cooking, it does require a fair amount of attention, but it doesn't take more than a 30 minutes to make. In fact, true Italian cooks will tell you that risotto should take no more than 18 to 19 minutes from start to finish.
Risotto is like no other rice dish in it's consistancy and I strongly recommend you try it. There are plenty of recipes out there or you can e-mail me for a tried and tested recipe ( just let me know what ingredients you'd like to include ). It does taste like creamy rice, but in a good way. Go to foodtv.com and do a search for recipes. I cooked it recently for the first time (I was suspect too) using a Giada DeLaurentis recipe (foodtv chef) and it was yummy. The rice you use is arborio - it's like a pasta/rice combo.
