An easy risotto recipe! Chicken stock, tomatoes, basil, garlic and shredded Parmesan help make this risotto recipe both simple and super fresh.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
Step one
Place a 4-quart saucepan on medium heat. Add the oil and when hot add the onion and garlic. Simmer slowly until the onions are clear. Add the Arborio rice and cook in oil for 1 minute. Add half of the tomatoes and 1/4 cup chicken stock; cook gently.
Step two
Simmer adding 1/4 cup additions of stock as the rice absorbs each addition. Repeat, adding stock until rice is tender, and all of the stock is absorbed. Stir in Parmesan cheese, basil, and remaining tomatoes. Season with salt and black pepper.
