    I am pretty trad when it comes to what is called a risotto and I am pretty sure this rice dish with Camargue red rice is not a risotto. A google search on Camargue rice shows it is only called a risotto rice by a very few sites, and they credit it with a whole lot of other uses as well. So I call this a Camargue Pilaf or Camargue Salad instead. Whatever its name it is quite lovely. I used dried wild mushrooms from my local quirky continental shop, and broad beans straight from the garden. I had to cook the rice a lot longer than specified. I thought it needed some time after cooking for the flavours to meld properly - it was nicer later in the day.
