Ingredients
- 6 cups chicken stock
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 shallot minced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tomato finely chopped, large
- 2 tablespoons pesto
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- Pinch sugar
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 ½ cups arborio rice
- ½ cup white wine dry
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- basil cut into thin strips, fresh
Instructions
- In a sauce pan, add your chicken broth and heat over medium heat. You don’t want it to boil. If it starts to simmer you can cut back the heat.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium high. Once heated through add the shallots and garlic. Sauté until the onion and garlic start to cook down and brown. Once done, add tomatoes, pesto, salt, pepper, sugar, and italian seasoning. Continue to simmer for a few more minutes.
- Add the rice and stir until covered in the tomato mixture. Deglaze the pan with wine and continue simmering and stirring until the rice absorbs the wine and the alcohol is cooked off.
- Add the hot chicken broth one ladle at a time. Make sure there’s enough liquid to cover the rice as it cooks. Stir occasionally to make sure it’s not sticking to your skillet. Continue adding liquid as the rice dries. Repeat until the rice is al-dente. This should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Once done, stir in parmesan cheese and fresh basil. Serve immediately.
