- Ingredients
- 2 Tbsps olive oil
- 3 Tbsps butter
- 1 onion (peeled and finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic cloves (finely chopped)
- 4 ripe Tomatoes (chopped)
- 1 Tbsp sun-dried tomatoes (finely sliced)
- 2 cups Risotto
- ⅜ cup dry white wine
- 4 Tbsps tomato passata
- 4 cups chicken stock (or vegetable broth)
Preparation steps
1.
Heat the oil and butter in a large pan and add the onion and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent.
2.
Add the fresh and preserved tomatoes to the pan. Add the rice and stir to coat in the butter.
3.
Pour in the wine and stir the rice while the wine is absorbed, then stir in the passata.
4.
Once the wine has cooked in, reduce the heat a little and add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring fairly continuously. This will give the risotto its creamy texture.
5.
Keep stirring in the stock and tasting the rice. After about 15-20 minutes the rice should be soft but with a slight bite. If you’ve run out of stock before the rice is cooked, simply use water.
6.
Season and remove from the heat. Add the butter and Parmesan (mantecatura) and leave to melt into the risotto.
7.
Stir through the basil and serve immediately.
