MAGGI One Pan Risottos are an easy way to prepare delicious, light Italian-style risottos at home, any night of the week. Ready in just 30 minutes, the MAGGI recipe base offers the perfect balance of herbs, spices and stock.

And unlike other risottos, there is no need to stand over the stove stirring for hours.

    You can’t stop at one!

    This is a recipe that you can’t stop at only one, I have been making this over and over again just because my kids love eating it. They can be quite fussy and if I have a chance that they like something healthy I tend to stick with it. It tastes great, kids loved it especially the chicken and rice mixed together. They enjoyed the different type of rice as well, not just the normal rice and would definitely recommend MAGGI One Pan to anyone that wants a quick and easy meal.

  • Still going Strong!

    I have said it before and I am saying it again we love Maggi One Pan Chicken, Pumpkin and Baby Spinach Risotto. We are still cooking it for the family and each time I see it on special at the supermarket I buy a couple so I always have it in stock in our house. Great for a quick dinner prep and off we go…
    Really find it good value for money and a dinner that we all enjoy especially because its rice and chicken but it also has those vegies that are really good for your body.
    It is always a winner in this household.

  • Maggi 1 pan Risotto

    I love risottos but I usually am not too successful with making them myself – for a long time I gave up trying and just having plain rice as a side dish. Maggi 1 pan Risotto was really quick and easy, I will be buying again, would like to try the Chicken, Leek and Mushroom Risotto.

    Have made this risotto quite a few times now, my family have become a fan of this and my kids will actually eat it and ask for seconds (rare). It’s great finding a recipe that is quick and easy to make and the family loves. Good for myself when I have finished work and the last thing on my mind is to cook dinner and then I think oh hang on a second risotto is easy, quick and very yummy, hmmm I might cook this!

  • Risotto

    I love risotto yet it seems to take ages to make but now I have found the most easy and quick to make recipe for risotto. I made double for work meals and it tasted better re heated. Xxx. I was unsure about freezing this recipe yet the ingredients kept well for a week.I placed it in zip top plastic bag and froze . They virtually took a up no space.

  • Great Recipe for large family's

    Having a recipe that has all its goodness in one is great, the rice tastes wonderful and fills up your belly and the mixture of the recipe base gives it that extra flavouring, you can really just have the sauce and risotto together and your toddlers would love the flavour. But with all the ingredients put together is an amazing dish, filled with flavours that jumps out of your mouth. The mixture of Chicken, Pumpkin, baby spinach and Risotto rice blended together is perfect, wouldn’t want it any other way. Definitely great for large families as it does go a long way.

  • A one pot wonder.

    Wow : I followed Nikki’s directions and my risotto turn out perfect. This is truly a one pot wonder meal, quick and delicious and no sink or bench top full of dirty bowls and dishes. I loved the freshness of the dish and the combination of ingredients were perfectly matched.
    Maggi you really are magic.

  • Risotto - what a breeze!

    MAGGI thanks a bunch for simplifying a dish I have always liked the sound of, but never tried. The ingredients were in my fridge and it took no time to prepare, and even less time to eat! The kids really enjoyed it, and there was enough left over for school lunches – yep, my kids like cold leftovers as do I !!! This is one we will add to the pantry and family staple dishes. Thanks again Maggi

  • An average meal

    Unfortunately the kids didn’t love this meal. I cooked it exactly as per the instructions. One of our children, I must admit, doesn’t like rice so I never expected to change that, but the other two kids were calling it boring and wanted cereal instead – lol.
    My hubby and I didn’t really love it and both agreed to try something else instead next time.
    The ease of cooking was definitely there though.
    The flavours weren’t offensive – just not as delicious as hoped!

  • Overall very yummy!

    My husband and I loved this, my daughters was a little fussy. It was super easy and it tasted very yummy. It was a flavour mix I wouldn’t usually put together but it worked well and was tasty for something different. Will definitely buy again and have recommended to friends. I like the one pan convenience, much better than using every pan in the kitchen

  • Win Win all Round!

    Maggi makes cooking risotto so much easier with these one pan dinners. No long continuous stirring required.

  • Easy to use and very tasty!!

    I love using maggi one pan! It easy to use, especially for Mums like myself who aren’t good cookers at the best of times.
    The last thing you need is a intense and million step process.
    Its easy to remember and after a few times you even remember what components you need without having to check your list.
    We enjoyed more then the kids, Baby Sam just decided to squish the spinach in his high chair! But most bowls were empty, and i went back for seconds!

  • Quick and easy

    We have had this risotto a few times at home and I love how it is so quick and easy to make. Plus it tastes delicious! I’m not a big pumpkin or spinach fan so we often use this risotto base with just the chicken, and perhaps some beans. Once I added bacon and it still tasted yummy!

  • So easy and so tasty

    I made this for my family and by family I mean 6 adults!!! My husband and I live with my parents and we also have my brother and his wife living with us atm as they are renovating. Plus my 15 month old daughter and their 11 month old son!!
    I brought 2 packets and just doubled all the ingredients, it was so easy to use and loved that you only need one pan!!! Everyone loved the taste and even had seconds! The only thing I would change is there wasn’t much chicken in it even when doubling the ingredients. My daughter ate all of hers (but she’s not really a fussy eater!) I would definitely make this again as it was really easy and tasty but I’ll use more chicken

Article Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!
