Risi e Bisi

Risi e Bisi is a traditional Venetian dish that combines rice and fresh peas, reflecting Venetian cuisine's farm-to-table roots. It is similar to risotto but lighter and often enjoyed as a comforting yet elegant dish. The rice is gently simmered with broth, garlic, and onion, then mixed with fresh peas and often topped with grated cheese. The result is a creamy, flavorful dish that highlights the sweetness of peas and the richness of the rice, embodying the simplicity and freshness characteristic of Venetian culinary traditions.
