How to Cook
-
Sauté the base: In a wide pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil or a knob of butter over medium heat. Optionally sauté a small chopped shallot or onion until soft and translucent.
-
Add the risotto mix: Pour in the contents of the pack and stir to coat the grains in the fat for about 1 minute.
-
Add water or broth: Add approximately 500 ml (2 cups) of hot water or light vegetable or chicken broth. Stir well to combine.
-
Simmer: Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for approximately 12–15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy and al dente.
-
Finish and serve: Remove from heat. Stir in a knob of cold butter and extra freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano if desired. Serve immediately.
Tip: Add a handful of baby spinach or crispy pancetta in the last 2 minutes of cooking for a simple but impressive twist on this classic.
