Thursday October 1 l 6 - 7:30 PM
Here’s your opportunity to learn not simply the risotto basics, but how to jazz up any standard risotto recipe. We’ll show you how to make classic risotto using special arborio rice as the base, but we’ll also make risotto with two more starchy base varieties - farro and orzo! The beauty of the “risotto technique” is that it is a blank slate to convey any flavor that you like while having the versatility to try other bases and a slew of flavorful toppings!
In this class you will work with a partner to craft 1 of the 3 base risotto recipes from start to finish using the “risotto technique”. Then you’ll compose your dish by adding the finishing touches like Swiss Chard & Parmesan or Porcini Mushroom & Crispy Shallots with Pecorino or Pancetta & Shrimp with Peas. You’ll share your dish with the class and all will enjoy dining on all three dishes.
Each participant will also take home the recipes and receive a glass of wine (if older than 21).
This class is ideal for ages 16+
