Instructions:
GARLIC PARMESAN RISOTTO:
Add risotto base to a medium pan with a lid and break apart with a wooden spoon. Add ¼ cup white wine (optional) or water and bring to a simmer, cooking until the liquid is almost absorbed. Then add 1 cup water and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until absorbed and the rice is cooked.
Chef’s tip: if you like your risotto a little al dente, start with just ½ cup of water and add more according to your taste.
Stir in the compound butter and half of the parmesan cheese. Pop on the lid to keep warm while preparing the rest of the meal. Just before serving, you may stir in a little more little more water to loosen the texture a bit!
ROASTED BROCCOLINI:
1) Preheat your oven to 425ºF.
2) Toss broccolini with 2-3 Tbsp olive oil and ½ tsp salt and spread on a sheet pan. Roast in the oven for 12-18 minutes until tender. Toss with one container of garlic rosemary paste and return to the oven for 2-3 more minutes.
THE MAIN EVENT:
1) Smear pork chops or steak with the remaining container of garlic rosemary paste.
2) Is the weather outside nice? Then get out there and grill! If you’ll be staying inside, heat 1 Tbsp olive oil and 1 Tbsp butter together in a large oven-safe pan over medium heat.
3) Sear the meat 3-5 minutes per side until beautifully browned. Check the temperature with a meat thermometer (we like our steak cooked to 135ºF for medium-rare and pork at 145ºF for medium). If it isn’t up to temperature quite yet, pop the whole pan into the oven for a few minutes to finish.
SIMPLE SALAD:
1) Toss arugula with a squeeze of lemon juice and a drizzle of your best olive oil.
2) Season with salt and pepper and top with the remaining shaved parmesan.
3) Enjoy the marinated olives as a snack while cooking or on the table with dinner!
DESSERT:
1) Divvy up and devour the tiramisu with your favorite post-dinner digestivo!
