Frequently Asked Questions About Risotto alla milanese dry mix
What is risotto alla milanese dry mix?

How much liquid should I use for risotto alla milanese dry mix?
Use the liquid amount specified for your risotto alla milanese dry mix. Different mixes have different rice quantities and cooking instructions, so a generic ratio can leave the rice undercooked or make the finished risotto too wet.
Can you cook risotto alla milanese dry mix in the microwave?

What can I add to risotto alla milanese dry mix to make it taste more traditional?

What is Risotto alla milanese dry mix?
Risotto alla milanese dry mix is a rice-based mix flavoured with saffron, inspired by the traditional risotto of Milan in northern Italy. It offers a convenient starting point for making the dish at home; ingredients and cooking directions can vary by product, so follow the packet instructions.
Cooked risotto is tender and creamy, with saffron’s gentle aroma and golden colour. In Italy it is served hot as a first course or alongside a main, and it also works as a satisfying one-pot meal elsewhere. Nutritionally, the mix is mainly a source of carbohydrate, with 76.4 g per 100 g. Add vegetables or mushrooms for extra variety, and go easy on added butter or cheese if you want a lighter bowl.
