Venere (black) rice

Cod with Venere rice risotto is a refined dish of Italian cuisine where the sea freshness of the fish combines with the rich flavor of unique black rice. Venere rice, known for its nutty undertones and light floral notes, makes the risotto deeply aromatic and tender. Baked cod coated in paprika butter develops a golden crust while remaining juicy inside. Octopus sautéed in butter and complemented by a tangy teriyaki sauce adds interesting texture and complexity to the dish. Grated Parmesan finishes the composition, gently uniting all ingredients. This dish not only delights gourmets with its exquisite taste but also makes a wonderful choice for a festive dinner or romantic evening.

Black risotto with beans is a refined dish of European cuisine, combining the rich earthy notes of Venere rice and the creamy softness of borlotti beans. This unusual type of risotto gets its name from the black rice that gives the dish an elegant, mysterious hue. Its origin can be linked to culinary experiments aimed at highlighting the depth of flavors in simple ingredients. Cooked in vegetable broth, the risotto gains richness and harmony, while caramelized shallots with curry notes add a touch of spiciness. The method of partially blending the finished risotto with an immersion blender makes its texture velvety and tender. This dish is perfect for a special dinner, impressing guests with its exclusivity and richness of flavor nuances.

Black Venere rice is an Italian product and has nothing to do with Asian wild rice, so we do not recommend replacing it with any other rice. Recipe by William Lamberti.
