I really liked this idea. A perfect gift in jar for people who aren't to fond of sweets and something different from the typical soup mix. The recipe comes from Holiday Gifts from A Jar. Ingredients:
2 cups arborio rice |
1 cup dried wild mushrooms, chopped |
1/2 cup sun-dried tomato, chopped (not oil packed) |
1/4 cup minced dehydrated dried chives |
1/2 teaspoon saffron |
1/4 cup pine nuts |
8 cups chicken broth |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon butter |
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots or 1/2 cup red onion |
3/4-1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded |
Directions:
1. For the mix: Layer ingredients in order listed, packing lightly before adding each layer.
2. Seal jar, cover top with fabric and attach a gift tag with directions for preparing the risotto.
3. In a medium saucepan, heat broth and keep at a simmer.
4. Heat oil and butter in a large skillet; add the shallot and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes or until tender, stir in risotto mix.
5. Cook and stir 1 to 2 minutes or until rice glistens.
6. Pour about 1/2 cup broth into skillet, cook and stir at medium-low heat until rice absorbs broth, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
7. Add 1/2 cup of broth and repeat; continue until all liquid has been incorporated, rice should be tender but slightly firm at the center.
8. When the rice is cooked through, stir in cheese and serve immediately.
