The Da Bruno Italian Restaurants Marbella Group release Bruno’s special recipe-Risotto with Pumpkin and Shrimps, which makes a delicious, healthy and easy dish which looks great on the table.

The co-founder, Bruno Filippone, has released this recipe amongst many others in a book which will raise money for the CRECE Foundation, which is charity in Marbella which supports the families of children with special needs.

Bruno’s Ingredients for Risotto with Pumpkin and Shrimps are:

2 pumpkin halves (medium size), risotto rice 150 gr, 1 shallot, prawns (clean) 150 gr, chicken stock 300 gr, grated parmesan cheese 60 gr, butter 150 gr, olive oil, salt and pepper.

How To Make Risotto with Pumpkin and Shrimps

Firstly clean the pumpkin and remove the “pumpkin meat” with a spoon. Then you chop the shallot finely and stir fry it with some olive oil and the prawns (which have been cleaned) in a casserole. (For this to turn out in the way an Italian or continental would eat it, try to buy fresh and large prawns).

Next add the rice and let it cook only for a few seconds. Then add the pumpkin meat and chicken stock and let it all boil gently until the rice is almost, but not quite done.

Then add the butter and the parmesan cheese, taste and season to your liking, and let it rest covered for a minute or two. Then put the rice inside each half pumpkin, decorating them with chopped parsley.

Risotto with Pumpkin and Shrimps-Easy To Make, Healthy Recipe

As you can see this Da Bruno recipe is easy to make and actually it is healthy also.

Pumpkin is a great source of beta-carotene; a super important anti-oxidant. It also contains beta-cryptoxanthin which may decrease the possibility of contracting lung cancer for smokers. It contains other anti-ageing properties, promotes healthy vision and helps the immune system to function. Pumpkins are also an excellent source of fibre. When served up this simple recipe looks very mouth-watering.

As mentioned this is only one out of many recipes which can be found on the Da Bruno website and also in a convenient book form in aid of charity.

The Da Bruno Italian Restaurants Marbella Group are renowned for the many social events, sports and charity involvements in which they participate each year.

About Da Bruno:

To regular guests and friends, it is obvious that the Da Bruno Restaurants Group is more than a group of restaurants, but in fact a community in itself.

The Da Bruno restaurant group began operating in Marbella in 1994 with the launch of Pasta Da Bruno after which followed the opening of Da Bruno Home (1999), Da Bruno Cabopino A (2001), Da Bruno Sul Mare ( 2002), Da Bruno to San Pedro (2005) and also at Da Bruno Cabopino Take Away and Delicatessen (2008). Da Bruno was founded by Bruno and Giuseppina Filippone who continue to run the business and have brought an unmistakable personal stamp of quality traditional Italian food to their restaurants.

In the current economic climate, businesses large and small face increasingly stiff competition to attract and retain talented, motivated people on top of an ongoing battle for sales and brand recognition. There are many factors that can influence workplace performance and, in turn, business revenue. Most critical perhaps is the motivation levels of your staff, whether they understand the importance of their role in the broader business strategy, and whether they feel they are being rewarded for the work they perform – rather than simply hitting arbitrary, one-size-fits-all KPIs or sales targets. It’s for this reason that many organisations invest in structured reward and non-cash incentive programs to complement their financial incentive schemes.

 

Whatever the size of your business or the industry you are in, employee incentive programs can certainly help boost your overall company and ensure you get the best from your employees.

In many cases it is a substantial investment, so to get the best results from your program, it is important to first consider the following steps:

Determine your company’s goals:

Evaluate your company’s objectives, and the values or behaviours you want your people to display, before you begin planning your incentive program. Rewarding employees for their performance in a particular field provides the motivation to make a difference in their profession. There is no one-size-fits all philosophy; each program must be designed around your company’s specific culture and objectives and, when implemented and managed correctly, incentive programs have been repeatedly proven to increase performance.

Utilise different incentive programs to achieve different goals at different times:

When considering your reward and recognition program, plan to reward your people to achieve different goals. Reward short-term performance targets or utilise your incentive program to attract new employees to your company. Incentive programs can also be used to reward team contribution and performance. Length of service programs recognise long term employees for their sustained contribution. ‘Spot prizes’ and peer recognition is also an important part of the incentive mix.

Provide employees with choice:

When rewarding employees, choice is all important; a reward is only perceived as such by an employee when it is something they actually want!

Choose a reputed company to implement your incentive plan: Hiring the services of a company that specialises in implementing and managing employee recognition and sales incentive programs can help you to achieve the desired business results. Specialist providers will design and manage the appropriate reward programs by evaluating the objectives and values of your company.
