Notes

One Minute Brown Rice Risotto with garlic, peas and lemon makes the perfect on the go meal that feels like you spent all day in the kitchen in just one minute in the microwave.
Here are some extra mix-in ideas for your One Minute Brown Rice Risotto that all start with a 2 tablespoons of heavy cream or half and half as the base:
  • corn, black beans, cayenne and jack cheese
  • pesto, grape tomatoes (cut in half you don’t want them to burst in the microwave), fresh mozzarella
  • diced mushrooms, thyme, garlic, Parmesan
  • caramelized onions, pancetta or bacon (cubed), provolone
  • cut shrimp, garlic, frozen spinach (chopped), Parmesan, crushed red peppers
The rule of thumb is try not to add more than 4 or 5 tablespoons of total ingredients to the cups (in addition to the heavy cream). There’s only so much space in the cups.
If you don’t have the cups of Minute Rice, you can also use Minute Whole Grain Brown Rice. It cooks in just ten minutes. Portion out a cup of it and mix with the ingredients in a small covered container. When you’re ready for lunch, microwave for one minute uncovered and enjoy your delicious meal!
