In this episode, we learn from the rich tradition of Venice's cucina povera to prepare rustic, yet vibrant dishes. First, Milk Street Cook Bianca Borges makes Venetian Rice and Peas (Risi e Bisi), a creamy dish that uses a bright green vegetable broth as its secret ingredient. Then, Milk Street Cook Josh Mamaclay prepares Polenta with Shrimp and Tomatoes. Finally, Christopher Kimball and Milk Street Cook Lynn Clark bake Venetian Cornmeal and Currant Cookies studded with liqueur-soaked fruit.
