Time 45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 ½ cups vegetable stock
⅓ cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes
1 onion, chopped
2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a simmer. While the stock is heating, drain the sun-dried tomatoes and reserve the oil. Chop the tomatoes coarsely and set them aside.
  • In a large frying pan, warm 2 tablespoons of oil from the tomatoes, add onion and saute until translucent; about 6 minutes.
  • Add rice to the frying pan and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains; about 1 minute. Spoon a ladleful of vegetable stock into the frying pan and cook the mixture on low until all the stock is absorbed; about 2 minutes. Continue adding the stock, a ladleful at a time until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil from the tomatoes, chopped basil, and salt and pepper. Mix well and serve.

This risotto was a little too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out mushy. I think I overcooked it.

I loved the creamy texture of the risotto and the tangy flavor of the sun-dried tomatoes. The mozzarella melted perfectly and added a gooey goodness to the dish.
