Very sad to hear :(

Yes, I can understand that.  Thankfully there are a good number of decent
options now.


===Risotto Salad===

    2 cups arborio rice
    3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups vegetable stock
    1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
    salt
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
    1/4 cup capers, drained
    12 cherry tomatoes or 12 grape tomatoes
    1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
    1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, shredded
    2 garlic cloves, crushed
    1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
    fresh ground black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

   Rinse the rice well in cool water.
   Drain well and set aside.
   Bring the stock to a gentle boil in a medium-size saucepan, then reduce to
a simmer.
    Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high
heat.
    Add the onions and cook, stirring, until just soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
    Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains are opaque,
about 4 minutes.
    Add the stock and salt to taste.
    Stir gently until the liquid comes to a boil. Cover tightly, reduce the
heat to low, and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
Remove from heat and let stand for about 15 minutes before stirring.
    Transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently stir to cool, breaking up any
lumps with a wooden spoon.
    Add the lemon juice and toss gently to mix. Cover with a clean towel and
let cool.
    When ready to serve, add the capers, tomatoes, parsley, basil, garlic and
extra-virgin alive oil.
    Toss gently to mix.
    Season with the black pepper or crushed red pepper flakes.
    Serve at room temperature.
