  • Ingredients:

    Yields 5 cups

    1 cup Arborio rice
    1 cup semolina
    3 cups all-purpose flour
    2 Tbs. table salt
    1 tsp. freshly-ground black pepper

    Directions:

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

    Chef's note: This is one place I do use table salt. In general I prefer gray salt or kosher salt, but they are too heavy and will not stay distributed throughout the coating.
