It’s National Rice Month and in honor of this budget friendly staple, we’d like to offer some easy ways to please the palate with almost no hands on time!

Try this one for Vegetable Risotto. If you’re eager for something a little more challenging, but still simple, try this one, from our Chef Ambassador, Josh Horrigan, for Sweet Corn Risotto with Diver Scallops, or if garlic anything is what melts your butter, give this one a shot…
