Tomatoes and spice and everything rice.
This weeknight (or any night, let’s be honest) Mediterranean Dill Risotto can be described with one word: dill-icious. Creamy rice and succulent chicken pair with savory tomato and refreshing dill for a quick and easy meal that tastes like you spent all day stirring. For a vegetarian version, simply omit the chicken.
Herby, salty, and creamy with savory and aromatic notes.
*For a vegetarian/vegan version, omit chicken and use vegan butter.
This easy risotto requires minimal active cooking and stirring and makes a great, Mediterranean-inspired weeknight dinner.
With Spice 'n Easy, cooking is as easy as 1, 2, 3! Just open, spice and serve. Each packet includes the pre-measured spices needed to make a quick, simple and tasty recipe.
DIRECTIONS:
In a wide, heavy-bottomed pot, melt butter over medium heat and add chicken and Mediterranean Dill Risotto Mix. Stir for 1 min., or until mixture is coated in butter and aromatic. While stirring, gradually pour in 3 cups hot water. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer (uncovered) for 15 to 17 min., or until liquid is mostly absorbed, stirring occasionally. Increase heat to medium and add remaining 1 cup hot water. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 min., or until rice is tender and mixture is creamy. If risotto is too thick, loosen with a splash of hot water. Serve immediately.
NOTES:
Garnish with: Capers, cherry tomatoes, feta, fresh dill or parsley, Kalamata olives, and a squeeze of lemon juice.
