    List of Ingredients




    1 can (14-1/2 ounces) low-sodium chicken broth
    1-3/4 cups water
    2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    1 teaspoon dried basil leaves, crushed
    1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves, crushed
    1 cup arborio rice
    2 cups packed DOLE® Fresh Spinach, torn
    1 cup DOLE® Shredded Carrots
    3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

    Recipe



    • Combine broth, water, garlic, basil and thyme in large saucepan. Bring to boil; meanwhile, prepare rice.

    • Place rice in large, nonstick saucepan sprayed with vegetable cooking spray. Cook and stir rice over medium heat about 2 minutes or until rice is browned.

    • Pour 1 cup boiling broth into saucepan with rice; cook, stirring constantly, until broth is almost absorbed (there should be some broth left).

    • Add enough broth to barely cover rice; continue to cook, stirring constantly, until broth is almost absorbed. Repeat adding broth and cooking, stirring constantly, until broth is almost absorbed, about 15 minutes; add spinach and carrots with the last addition of broth.

    • Cook 3 to 5 minutes more, stirring constantly, or until broth is almost absorbed and rice and vegetables are tender. Do not overcook. (Risotto will be saucy and have a creamy texture.) Stir in Parmesan cheese. Serve warm.


    Garden Pilaf Substitute 1 cup uncooked long grain white rice for arborio rice and reduce water from 1-3/4 cups to 1/2 cup. Prepare broth as directed above with 1/2 cup water; meanwhile, brown rice as directed above. Carefully add browned rice to boiling broth. Reduce heat to low; cover and cook 15 minutes. Stir in vegetables; cover and cook 4 to 5 minutes longer or until rice and vegetables are tender. Stir in Parmesan cheese.
