Alessi Sun Dried Tomato Risotto

Italy, Europe's largest producer of rice, benefits from the wetlands and cool temperatures of the Lombardi region, creating ideal conditions for lush rice fields. Resourceful Italians combined rice with other local items to create risotto, a dish for which they claim ownership. Rich and creamy, authentic risotto is a gastronomic delight of Northern Italy, with Arborio rice being the key ingredient. This short, thick grained rice retains firmness throughout preparation, allowing risotto to be cooked al dente, meaning tender yet firm to the bite.

Alessi Risotto Con Pomodori Secchi is an easy-to-prepare culinary treat made with sun-dried tomatoes from the farmlands of sunny Italy. These tomatoes are handpicked while juicy, red, and fragrantly ripe, then split in half, salted, and laid out on a large wooden flat to dry in the sun. This traditional and popular dish from Northern Italy is an excellent accompaniment to most grilled meats, especially chicken.

The product is a traditional Northern Italian dish, excellent served with grilled meats, and is a product of Italy. Each package contains two 8 oz. servings, providing a total of four servings per package, and features Italian Arborio rice with Italian sun-dried tomatoes.
