Before You Cook

Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. If using antibiotic free chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side. If using NY strip steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner. Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Stem and mince parsley.

    Halve and peel shallot. Cut halves into 1/4" dice.

    Mince garlic.

  2. 2

    Start the Vegetables

    Place broccoli and shallots on prepared baking sheet and toss with 2 tsp. olive oil, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper. Spread into a single layer.

    Roast in hot oven until tender, but still crisp, 10-12 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Vegetables

    Carefully remove baking sheet from oven. Sprinkle Parmesan over vegetables.

    Roast again in hot oven until broccoli is lightly browned, 4-6 minutes.

    Carefully remove from oven. Tent roasted vegetables with foil.

    While vegetables roast, continue recipe.

  4. 4

    Start the Risotto

    Place a medium pot over medium-high heat and add 1 tsp. olive oil. Add rice and garlic to hot pot. Stir constantly until rice is toasted and opaque, 1-2 minutes.

    Add white wine and stir constantly until evaporated, 25-30 seconds.

    Add 1 cup boiling water from small pot and mirepoix base to pot with rice. Rice should just be covered by water. Stir constantly until nearly all liquid is absorbed, 4-6 minutes.

  5. 5

    Finish Risotto and Finish Dish

    Add 1/2 cup boiling water from small pot and stir constantly until almost completely absorbed. Repeat this process, stirring often, 18-20 minutes.

    Taste as you cook, checking for tenderness. When rice has no more "bite" or crunch, it's done. There may be water left.

    Remove from burner. Stir in cheddar, butter, half the parsley (reserve remaining for garnish), 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper.

    Plate dish as pictured on front of card, topping risotto with vegetables and garnishing with remaining parsley. Bon appétit!
