Cooking Guidelines

To ensure food safety, the FDA recommends the following as minimum internal cooking temperatures:

  • Steak and Pork 145° F (rest cooked meat, 3 minutes) |
  • Seafood 145° F |
  • Chicken 165° F |
  • Ground Beef 160° F |
  • Ground Turkey 165° F |
  • Ground Pork 160° F

Customize It Instructions

  • Meatlovers! If using protein, cook in a medium non-stick pan over medium heat with 1 tsp. olive oil. 

  • If using antibiotic free chicken breasts, pat dry. Cook until chicken reaches minimum internal temperature, 5-7 minutes per side.

  • If using salmon, pat dry. Add salmon, skin-side up first, and cook until salmon reaches minimum internal temperature, 4-6 minutes per side. 

  • If using NY strip steak, pat dry. Cook until steak reaches desired doneness, or 4-6 minutes per side for medium/medium-well. Rest, 3 minutes. Steak thickness can vary; if you receive a thinner steak, we recommend checking for doneness sooner.

  • Add protein to meal as desired.

  1. 1

    Cook the Cauliflower

    Coarsely chop cauliflower into 1" pieces.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add cauliflower to hot pan and stir occasionally until cauliflower is tender, 6-8 minutes.

    If pan is too dry, add water, 1 Tbsp. at a time, as needed.

    Remove from burner. Stir in mushroom seasoning and a pinch of salt. Set aside.

    While cauliflower cooks, continue recipe.

  2. 2

    Prepare Green Onions and Start Risotto

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Add rice, mirepoix base, garlic salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pot with boiling water. Reduce to a simmer.

    Once simmering, stir often until combined and slightly thickened, 2-3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Finish the Risotto

    Add peas, white portions of green onions, half the shredded cheese (reserve remaining for garnish), softened cream cheese, softened butter (to taste), and 2 Tbsp. water to hot pot. Stir vigorously until creamy, 1-2 minutes.

    If too thick, add additional water, 1 tsp. at a time, until desired consistency is reached.

    Remove from burner.

  4. 4
