Italian Risotto with Cheese and Pepper, 320 g (Risotto Cacio e Pepe)

Italian Risotto with Cheese and Pepper (Risotto Cacio e Pepe)

Ideariso's ready-made risotto mixes are created by combining selected quality ingredients with the Gigante Vercelli variety, which is part of the Presidio Slow Food* project of Ideariso.

Gigante Vercelli rice is an ancient variety of rice, ideal for preparing delicate and creamy risottos.

This mixture is packaged in an aluminium-lined cardboard tube with a controlled atmosphere to guarantee unique freshness and quality.

Finally, the characteristic that most distinguishes Ideariso risotto mixes is the cooking time: in 12–14 minutes, you will get three to four portions of creamy risotto with an excellent taste.

Preparation: Pour the "risotto mix" into a pan with a little melted oil and sauté for 1 minute over low heat, stirring constantly. Pour in half a glass of water or white wine, stirring constantly, and let the liquid evaporate. Gradually add 800-1000 ml of hot water and let it evaporate completely (12-14 min). Finally, add a knob of butter and let it melt.

Ingredients: Gigante Vercelli rice (Slow Food presidium) 93%, pecorino cheese* 3.7%, dried vegetable broth* (salt, potato starch and maltodextrin, yeast extract, carrot and onion extracts, sunflower oil, basil, parsley and rosemary extracts), onion*, salt, ground black pepper* 0.3%. (*dehydrated product).

Cooking time: 12-14 minutes
