Risotto ai Peperoni

Risotto with Capsicum

Pane-Bistecca
And again, there is a risotto with the fine Loto Rice from my friend Rolf (advertisement without payment)! This time I have made a risotto ai Peperoni, because here in the Philippines grow wonderful, beautiful, bright red capsicum.

Hot peppers, paprika, capsicum, pepperoni, chili, cayenne, peperoncino, pimenton, these are all the same plant but with different levels of heat. The pungency is caused by capsaicin, which is found only in this plant. The capsicum or paprika grown in Hungary since 1950 have hardly any capsaicin, so they are very mild. However, the chilies, cayenne and peperoncini are very hot, they have from 0.3 to 0.85 percent capsaicin.

By the way, 1 heaped teaspoon of the spice paprika has 19% of the daily requirement of vitamin A and 8% of iron.
