Short Grain brown rice instead?

What adjustments would I have to make in this recipe if I were to use short grain brown rice? ( often a substitute for arborio) in place of Arborio?

Hi Lauren!

The biggest adjustment is going to be cook time. It could take nearly twice as long, which may also require more stock, I would have at least a half a quart more than what the recipe calls for, because the rice may absorb all of the provided stock and still not be finished.

If you don't mind a bit of a stand and stir for 60 minutes + then this should work!

Hope this helps!
