[Sca-cooks] Neapolitan Risotto? (was re: Black Rice)

[Johnna Holloway]

I wuld think that washing the rice might be called for because the rice
needed to be cleaned and gone over for husks, stones, dirt, etc. I still
find odd things in rice at times that are not kernals of rice and that's
coming out of a known commercially branded bag.
