Thursday February 19 l 6 -7:30 PM —ONLY A FEW SPOTS LEFT!—
If you’ve made classic risotto before, here is a chance to mix up your favorite recipe! If you’ve never given it a try, this is your opportunity to learn risotto basics, plus how to jazz up any standard risotto recipe using different grains. The beauty of the “risotto technique” is that it is a blank slate to convey any flavor that you like while incorporating healthy grains onto your meal!
In this class you’ll learn how to make this creamy dish using 3 different grains and compose your dish by adding finishing touches like Roasted Butternut Squash with Crispy Pancetta and Sage, Roasted Beets with Herb Crusted Goat Cheese Medallions and Balsamic Glaze, or Sautéed Shrimp and Parsley Breadcrumbs.
Participants will craft their risotto recipes from start to finish, and enjoy dining on all 3 versions of the dishes in class, take home the recipes, also receive a glass of wine or beer (if older than 21) or a fizzy water.
This class is ideal for ages 16+
