Risotto Mix - "Cuco"

$11.10

10 left

"Cuco" features carnaroli rice, mango, coconut, peanuts, and curry.

High-quality ingredients mean less stirring and better flavour in 20-30 minutes! Cooking instructions are attached.

Risotto is known for being fussy and requiring constant stirring, but using carnaroli rice (the "caviar" of risotto rice) means that the process can be mostly hands-off and yet the texture is fluffy and creamy without becoming mushy. It makes an elegant and comforting main or side dish (serves 2-3 or 6, respectively).

All that's required is two tablespoons of oil and three cups of liquid - water, broth, wine, cream, or whatever you choose! You can choose to keep it simple, or add in protein and/or vegetables as desired.

Elizabeth blends and packages these risotto mixes in Cowichan Bay with her homemade vegetarian soup bouillon. The mixes are gluten and MSG free, allowing them to suit a variety of diets. 


Ingredients: carnaroli rice, dried mango, unsweetened coconut, peanuts, vegetarian soup bouillon powder (no MSG), dried herbs, spices, salt, and pepper.

------------------

Cooking Instructions:

-3 cups liquid; any combo you choose of water, broth, white wine, and cream*
-2 Tbsp olive oil

Bring your liquids to a boil, add the contents of one bag of Rockin' Risotto and 2 Tbsp olive oil, stir well, and cover. Reduce heat to minimum so contents are simmering.

Cook for a total of 20 mins, stirring every five minutes and at the end of the cooking time. 

Garnish with parmesan or asiago cheese and basil if you wish. If you like to use it as a main dish, you can add chicken, seafood, beef, sausage, and/or vegetables after the risotto is cooked. 

*Rockin' Risotto recommends 1c water, 1c broth, and 1c white wine. If adding cream, add it after you have stirred the rice mix into the other liquids.

Rockin' Risotto

Nick Misura and Elizabeth Evans began Rockin' Risotto in 2015, testing various ingredient combinations to formulate their three popular mixes: "Rosie", "Cuco", and "Rippin". Nick also created the artwork for their logo himself. He passed away in 2019, and is greatly missed by the Cowichan community.

Elizabeth continues to blend and package their risotto mixes by hand in Cowichan Bay, using carnaroli rice and her own vegetarian soup bouillon mix to avoid additives. "Carnaroli is the caviar of risotto rice", Nick would explain, "mak[ing] my blends easy, simple, and fast to cook with that signature creaminess everyone loves." Risotto is known for being fussy and requiring constant stirring, but carnaroli rice doesn't gelatinize, meaning that the process can be mostly hands-off and yet the texture is fluffy and creamy instead of mushy. 

Risotto is the epitome of Italian home cooking and comfort food. In fact, true Italian cooks will tell you that risotto shouldn't take more than 20 minutes from start to finish. It began as a peasant dish, but it's now popular in high-end restaurants too due to its delicious flavour and versatility. It makes an elegant and comforting side or main dish.

The mixes are vegetarian, MSG-free, and gluten-free, allowing them to suit a wide variety of diets. All that's required is two tablespoons of oil and three cups of liquid - water, broth, wine, cream, or whatever you choose! You can opt to keep it simple, or add in protein and/or vegetables as desired. The mixes take 20 minutes to make (mostly hands-off, no constant stirring required!) and serve six as a side or 2-3 as a main dish.
