Truffle Risotto

"You might think of Trader Joe’s Truffle Risotto as something of a supergroup of Italian ingredients. Bringing up the base is Carnaroli rice—a standard in high-quality Risotto—prized for its ability to retain an al dente texture through cooking. For body, this Risotto calls on nutty Asiago and tangy cultured butter, which, when combined with white wine and cream, create a thick, yet beautifully balanced presence on the palate. Finally, black Truffle brings its signature depth and elegance, rounding out this umami-rich ensemble. Overall, TJ’s Truffle Risotto has a bold, savory flavor and velvety, toothsome texture befitting its classically Italian ingredient deck. It’s a simple but remarkably elegant side dish any night of the week, and a comforting winter dinner option when paired with roast chicken or seared sea scallops. What’s more, its speedy cook time means constant stove-side stirring is a thing of the past—it’s ready in minutes whether it’s prepped in the microwave or on the stovetop. You’ll find this consummately cozy Risotto in our freezers now through the year’s end."
