    Can anyone recommend the bes rice for paella? One recipe I saw called for
    "risotto" rice, but I can't find that in any of the supermarkets. Any help
    will be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Arborio rice or short grain Italian rice

    Or a medium grain called Valencia, if you can find it.

    You might try going to an Oriental market and asking for "sweet rice".
    When I buy it, it is usually fat little oval grains with an odd
    opaqueness (that's probably the dextrose coating.) The last batch I
    bought came in a plastic zip-lock bag where the proprietor had divided a
    big sack, and it looked more like long-grain rice with a white coating,
    but it cooked the same as the usual very short grain.

    (It's not enough dextrose added to really make it taste sweet)

    Best regards,
    Bob

    The best is Bomba, an excellent but hard to find Spanish rice. Risotto rices
    work well too - the most common kinds are arborio and carnaroli.
