CREAMY TOMATO RISOTTO RECIPE
A budget rice dish flavoured with rosemary, basil and sweet cherry tomatoes. An ideal midweek supper.
Prep Time : 5 mins
Cook Time : 35 mins
Servings : 4
INGREDIENTS
· 400g can chopped tomato
· 1l vegetable stock
· knob of butter
· 1 tbsp olive oil
· 1 onion, finely chopped
· 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
· 1 rosemary sprig, finely chopped
· 250g risotto rice
· 300g cherry tomato, halved
· small pack basil, roughly torn
· 4 tbsp grated parmesan
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Tip the chopped tomatoes and half the stock into a food processor and pulse until smooth. Pour into a saucepan with the remaining stock, bring to a gentle simmer and keep over a low heat.
2. Meanwhile, place the butter and oil in the base of a large saucepan and heat gently until the butter has melted. Add the onion and gently cook for 6-8 mins until softened. Stir in the garlic and rosemary, then cook for 1 min more. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for 1 min.
3. Start adding the hot stock and tomato mixture about a quarter at a time. Let the risotto cook, stirring often, adding more stock as it is absorbed. After you have added half the stock, add the cherry tomatoes. After 20-25 mins, the rice should be creamy and tender, the cherry tomatoes softened and all of the stock should be used up.
4. Cover and leave for 1 min, then stir in the basil. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and a good grinding of black pepper.
