Risotto Ai Funghi in a Box - Everything You Need for Royal Risotto
This Winter, give the gift of warmth: a hearty dish of Risotto con Porcini is comfort food for the connoisseur. Open your crate and discover: two bags of Gazzani Carnaroli rice , the rice of choice when preparing risotto for its dense, creamy bite; a generous piece of Parmigiano Reggiano from Emilia Romagna, straw gold in color and ready to melt in your mouth; secret chef ingredient for authentic risotto, your package also includes pure saffron powder from Abruzzo; lastly, delight yourself with the quality of our Dried Porcini mushroom , the one and only real porcini, picked among Italy's best production, carrying a musky, rich aroma of the forest and meaty consistency carried away yet?
Panic striken? You have never made Risotto? Here's how: soak the dried Porcini mushrooms in lukewarm water for 20 minutes. Warm up some broth on the side. In a pan deep enough to contain a few cups of broth, sautee some chopped onion in EV olive oil. When the onion turns translucent add about 1/2 cup of rice per person. Stir quickly and thoroughly. When the rice smells like it's starting to "toast", add half a glass of red wine. Let the wine evaporate, stir in the drained and chopped mushrooms, mix them well with the rice and cook for a couple of minutes. Start adding 2 cups of stock at the time until rice is cooked, making sure to leave some liquid in the pan to keep the rice moist. Serve immediately with a generous grating of Parmigiano Reggiano and some fresh chopped parsley.
Everything is beautifully packaged inside our Outer Borough Chic wood crate, recycled straight from the lively Bronx produce market.
