Help with chicken risotto please

Options
Hi I am trying to be OS after a lifetime of dreadful waste with food. I am making a chicken risotto but after looking in my cupboard I only have pudding rice. Can I use that instead of arborio rice and what difference will it make? Thanks for your help. Jan.

  • Hi Jan. Welcome, and well done for making the change! You should be fine with the pudding rice, I use it as it's a wee bit cheaper than arborio, and it's a good substitute.
