Rice is popularly eaten in all regions of Northern Italy whereas pasta is popular in the South. This recipe is a great supper dish of caramelised onion rice topped with garlic roasted vegetables and a creamy cheese sauce. Caramelising onions gives the rice a light brown colour and sautéing the rice in oil helps to keep the rice grains separate when they are cooked. Long grained rice when cooked is aromatic and flavourful and is best suited for this recipe. Oven roasted vegetables have a unique flavour that sautéed vegetables cannot match with a predominant garlic taste.
