Risotto gets a bad rap for being a tedious and tricky side dish. We’re here to say, “No more!” All you need are a few ingredients, 20 minutes, and a microwave—no culinary skills required. This mix swaps out traditional Arborio rice for whole grain, tricolour quinoa, packing in extra fibre to keep you fuller for longer.
