Gourmet Tomato Risotto

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the vegetable stock over low heat.

Step 2

In another large saucepan, sauté the arborio rice over medium heat for 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the tinned tomatoes stirring occasionally, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add a ladle of vegetable stock to the rice and stir occasionally until it gets fully absorbed, then continue to add the vegetable stock a ladle at a time, stirring occasionally until the liquid is fully absorbed by the rice. This process should take approximately 25-30 minutes.

Step 5

After around 25 minutes, check the rice to see if it is fully cooked and creamy. If not, continue adding stock until it reaches the desired texture.

Step 6

Add the pepper and stir the risotto well.

Step 7

Remove the saucepan from heat and let it rest for 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Serve hot and enjoy!
