The process doesn’t involve too many steps and it’s quite simple. It’s basically putting a few things into a pan and cooking them together. I recommend, staying close while the dish is cooking, since you might need to be stirring and adding water every now and then to prevent the rice from burning.

Pro Tips Wine: Dry white wines like Pinot Grigio and Sauvignon Blanc are best in this recipe. A splash of chicken broth can be used instead if you don’t cook with wine, to help clean the skillet. Brown rice may be used for this recipe but often requires a lot more simmering time (up to 45 minutes in some cases), as well as more liquid. Refer to package for guidance. Refrain from using minute rice with this method as it will likely be overcooked and mushy. A combination of Parmesan and Asiago may be used for this recipe.
