How to Cook

1. 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 onion or shallot until soft.
2. Add the risotto mix: Pour in the contents of the pack and stir to coat the grains in the fat for about 1 minute.
3. Add water or broth: Add approximately 500 ml (2 cups) of hot water or light vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.
4. 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.
5. Finish and serve: Remove from heat. Stir in a knob of butter and a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano if desired. Serve immediately.

Tip: Add a handful of fresh or rehydrated porcini mushrooms while cooking to intensify the flavor even further.
