Create a stir in your weekly dinner routine with risotto! This classic Italian rice dish transforms an ordinary meal into an elegant eating experience and is surprisingly simple to make. Whether you’re a seasoned home cook or a novice in the kitchen, you can master risotto with these steps. www.weismarkets.com www.riceselect.com www.weismarkets.com www.weismarkets.com www.oliviasorganics.org 04 Sauté the Aromatics Risotto begins with basic ingredients like onions and garlic sautéed in olive oil or butter to build the flavor base. For robust flavor with less saturated fat than butter and healthful monounsaturated fats, choose Weis Quality Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Adding better-for-you fats like olive oil into your diet is a breeze. Try full-bodied Extra Virgin in soups, rice or pasta dishes, salads or for dipping; Pure Olive Oil as your “all-purpose” oil in sautés, sauces and grilling; and Extra Light Tasting in stir-frying and baking. Store olive oil tightly closed and away from light and heat to ensure the longest shelf life. Toast the Rice Compared to longer grains of rice, medium-grain RiceSelect™ Arborio Rice releases its natural starch when cooked, developing a smooth and creamy texture. Premium Italian-style Arborio rice is known for the distinctive white dot on the center of the grain and its firm, but tender, “al dente” bite. While its most popular use is in risotto, it can also be used to make rice pudding and paella. Lightly toasting the Arborio improves it’s absorption of flavors from the olive oil, garlic and onion and brings the rice mixture to a boil faster once the broth is added. Build the Sauce Cooking risotto involves gently stirring hot liquid into Arborio rice to create a velvety sauce. Flavored broths or stock are used to make savory risottos, while weis Healthy Bites™ | www.weismarkets.com/healthyliving milk or heavy cream may be used in sweet versions of the dish. Choose lower sodium options like Weis Quality Reduced Sodium Chicken Broth to balance the other naturally salty ingredients in the dish. Foods labeled as “reduced sodium” contain at least 25 percent less sodium than the original. Add the Finishing Touch Freshly grated or shaved Parmesan cheese is one of the final ingredients added in the risotto cooking process. It melts into the hot rice mixture adding a tangy flavor and silky texture to every forkful. New Weis Five Star Shaved Parmesan Cheese contains 100 percent premium quality Wisconsin Parmesan that’s aged in traditional wheels for a minimum of 10 months before packaging. You can find it in our dairy department. Get Inspired Make risotto simple or exotic with the addition of seasonal vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood—even dried fruit. Once you have mastered the technique, get creative and experiment. For risotto that’s packed with antioxidant vitamins A, C and K, stir in wilted Olivia's Organics™ Baby Sauté Blend or Baby Kale Cooking Greens just before serving. These blends are pre-trimmed, triple-washed and can be sautéed, steamed or braised in an instant. Compared to fully-matured greens, baby varieties are milder tasting and more tender. Try them in fresh tossed salads, pasta, soups, casseroles or stir fry too. Nutri-Fact: Did You Know?
