Mediterranean Dill Risotto Q&A
What is risotto made of?
Risotto is made up of a short grain rice, usually Arborio rice. It's a starchier and creamier rice dish that also typically includes broth, butter and a mix of aromatic herbs and spices.
How do you cook risotto?
Classic risotto is typically cooked slowly and requires continuous stirring to reach the desired creamy texture you're looking for. Our version of easy risotto mix doesn't require as much attention as homemade risotto, but will taste as if you gave it the same kind of love when making it!
What should I serve with risotto?
You can serve many things with risotto like fresh herbs and vegetables, proteins such as chicken or shrimp, but it can also be a great dish just on its own.
