I used to make a lot of dishes with Arborio rice, like risotto, or paella. There was just something so delicious and comforting about it when paired with the right ingredients. So satisfying and hearty. I have found a grain free way to create rice dishes that I enjoy just as much using celeriac instead of the starchy rice. The texture is slightly different, but I don't mind. It lends itself well to whichever flavor I pair it with and I always finish it off feeling satisfied and happy not heavy.
