Tomato and Parmesan Risotto image

Use the smallest tomatoes you can find at the market for this dish. They'll be extra sweet and have thin skins.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup arborio or carnaroli rice
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 oz. finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup), plus more shaved for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden and very soft, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until it darkens slightly and begins to stick to pan, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and nutmeg, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in rice; season with salt, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until completely absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Ladle in another 2 cups broth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until rice is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.
  • Add butter, 2 oz. Parmesan, and remaining 1 cup broth and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is very creamy looking, about 4 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Divide risotto among bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan and lots of pepper and drizzle with more oil.

This risotto was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I'm not a fan of Parmesan cheese, so I used Asiago cheese instead. It turned out great!

I'm a vegetarian, so I substituted the chicken broth for vegetable broth. It turned out just as good!

This recipe was a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added some chopped sundried tomatoes and a bit of red pepper flakes. It turned out delicious!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my risotto turned out too mushy. I think I might have cooked it for too long.
