Alessi Funghi Risotto - Porcini Mushrooms - 6 Pack - 8 oz.

Italy, the largest producer of rice in Europe, is home to the ideal conditions for lush rice fields in the Lombardi region, with its wetlands and cool temperatures. Resourceful Italians in this area combined rice with other common items to create the dish known as risotto, which they claim as their own. Risotto is a rich and creamy gastronomic delight of Northern Italy, with the key ingredient being the short, thick grained rice known as Arborio. Its texture and cooking properties make it the perfect grain for risotto, allowing it to retain firmness throughout preparation and be prepared al dente - tender yet firm to the bite.

One particularly unique blend of flavor is found in the Alessi Risotto con Funghi Porcini, which includes Funghi Porcini, a type of mushroom found in the woodlands of Italy beneath pine trees. These mushrooms are known for their woodsy, aromatic scent and make a wonderful addition to this Italian favorite. The dish is an excellent accompaniment to most grilled meats, particularly lamb. Each package includes two 8 oz. packages, with 4 servings per package, making it a convenient option for a delicious meal.
