How to Cook Riso Scotti Microwave Venere Black Rice
- Do not open the pouch before heating. Place the sealed pouch flat in the microwave.
- Microwave on full power for 2 minutes (based on a 800W microwave). Adjust time slightly for higher or lower wattage microwaves.
- Carefully open the pouch — steam will escape, so open away from your face.
- Serve immediately. Fluff with a fork and plate directly. Pairs beautifully with seafood, grilled vegetables, fresh salads, or a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Tip: For a warm side dish, toss with a splash of lemon juice and fresh herbs right after heating.
