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.
