Arroz Con Pollo Risotto
Why should anyone raise an eyebrow if an American chef decides to combine the best of an Italian cooking technique with a deservedly popular Spanish recipe? Anyone who says this Spanish-Italian creation is not authentic need only go in search of the only authentic recipe for arroz con pollo, or rice with chicken. For the Spanish-Italian variation, thanks go to Larry Wolhandler, the owner of Painter's Tavern in Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y. He is also responsible for its unwieldy name, arroz con pollo risotto, or rice with chicken rice. But the idea is clear: the ingredients are Spanish, the method of cooking the rice Italian. The result, with a few alterations, is a handsome and quick meal that would be complemented by a salad of orange slices and red onions with a few dribbles of olive oil.
