Vegetarian Tomato Risotto
Report
This creamy Vegetarian Tomato Risotto is infused with flavor from a San Marzano tomato broth. It just might be better than your grandma's risotto!
Share:
Ingredients
- 28 oz San Marzano Tomatoes crushed or whole
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 1 onion sweet, peeled and chopped
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 3 tbsp butter
- 2 cups arborio rice
- 1 cup Parmesan Cheese plus extra for topping
- 2 tbsp basil fresh or freeze dried
Instructions
- Start by preparing the tomato-vegetable stock. In a large blender, puree the San Marzano tomatoes and vegetable broth. Work in batches if your blender is not large enough. Set aside.
- In a large pot, heat 1 tbsp of the butter. Add onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until starting to turn golden.
- Add the garlic and cook for additional 30 seconds.
- Add the Arborio rice. Stir to coat with the butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until just lightly toasted. Stir constantly to prevent burning.
- Turn heat to medium-low. Add ¼ cup of the tomato-vegetable stock and stir slowly until fully absorbed.
- Continue to add liquid into the rice in small increments, about ¼ cup at the time. Each time you add liquid, slowly stir the risotto until the stock is fully absorbed into the rice. It is a slow process - it will take you 45-60 minutes to get all the liquid into the risotto!
- Hint: If you go to quickly and feel like you need additional liquid, just use some extra plain vegetable broth or even a bit of water.
- Taste the risotto when you think it's done. If it's not tender (to your preference) yet, cook longer. Continue adding liquid so the risotto retains a slightly soupy quality.
- When the risotto is cooked to your liking, stir in the remaining butter and the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
- Serve garnished with basil and extra parmesan cheese.
