  <preparation>Place sauce in a <equipment>10-inch skillet or large
  saucepan</equipment> and warm over low heat. Add rice and stir. Add beef
  broth a little at a time as the rice absorbs the liquid in the pan. Cook for
  about one hour, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender. Risotto should
  be smooth, not sticky so add more broth if it is needed. A few minutes
  before serving drain the capers and stir them into to the
  mixture.</preparation>

  <serving>Serve with fresh Italian bread.</serving>

  <notes>Substitute green olives or mushrooms in place of capers for some
  variety. When substituting keep in mind that cooked or canned ingredients
  should be added toward the end of cooking while fresh ingredients are best
  added in the beginning.</notes>
