While making risotto may seem like a daunting task, it doesn’t have to be with the right ingredients in hand.

At its simplest, risotto is a hearty, warming rice dish, made with the stock of your choice and typically parmesan, butter, and any of the hundreds of ingredients that pair so perfectly with it. You can cook risotto with almost any combination of vegetables, proteins, or flavors that suit you best. Making risotto not only versatile but also widely loved by chefs and diners alike — and now it’s your turn to try your hand at this renowned Northern Italian dish.

In order to make your dinner an absolute breeze, Yummy Bazaar carries a number of risotto mixes that simply require boiling water or stock and that’s it! For example, the Italian Porcini Mushrooms Risotto by Riso Carena has everything you need in one convenient bag. Complete with saffron, onions, and porcini mushrooms, this dish is ready to serve in just 18 minutes. You could also try the Italian Risotto Mix with Zucchini, Pumpkin, and Pepper by Marinella which is a vegetable lover’s dream come true. Not only is this dish filled with an array of vegetables, but it also pre-seasoned for your ease of use. Simply add a pinch of salt to taste and your dish is ready in under 20 minutes.

If you would like to make your own risotto, the best Italian risotto rice is generally considered to be arborio rice or carnaroli rice. Lucky for you, Yummy Bazaar has both varieties on our virtual shelves for your enjoyment. For some of the best arborio rice, we suggest Curtiriso Arborio Rice for Italian Risotto for a fluffy yet creamy texture. The unmistakable large, pearly grains of rice make for an excellent risotto any day of the week.

While carnaroli rice is slightly smaller than its Italian rice cousin, it often yields an even creamier texture than arborio rice. For some of the highest quality carnaroli rice, we recommend trying a bag of Riso Di Molinella Carnaroli Rice for Italian Risotto. Simply fry the rice in some white wine, boil in the stock of your choice, add in all the spices and fixings you desire, and voila! Dinner is served.
