Recipe Introduction


It gives an especially crisp crust to fried fish fillets, squid, shrimp, eggplant and veal cutlets. You may as well make a lot because it keeps well in the freezer, and it's hard to grind less than 1 cup of rice in a blender. If you have a spice/coffee mill, you can halve the recipe. And you can grind the rice in small batches. Or to use as a thickener for gravies, soups, and stews


List of Ingredients




1 cup arborio rice
1 cup semolina
3 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons table salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper


Recipe



Put the rice in a blender and grind until very fine.
Shake out into a large bowl and add the semolina, flour, salt, and pepper.
Toss until well blended.
Store in a sealed container in the freezer to maintain maximum freshness.
