Time 45m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups risotto rice
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 medium red bell pepper, diced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/2 pint light cream
1 cup peas
1 lb tuna steak
1/4 lb buffalo mozzarella
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
1 pint chicken broth

Steps:

  • Par boil rice in chicken broth for 5 minutes or until slightly softened.
  • Drain and set aside BOTH rice AND broth.
  • Brown garlic, pepper, celery and onion over medium heat.
  • Mix in rice and rosemary, and ladle broth over top until rice is covered. Lower to medium-low heat. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, cube the tuna steak (about 1/2 inch cubes), season with black pepper and pan sear on high heat for 30 seconds on each side. Lay on top of rice and let cook at least five minutes.
  • Heat broiler to 350°F.
  • When rice is soft and broth fully reduced, mix in cream. Let cook two minutes and then set aside to steam for five minutes.
  • Cut thin slices of mozzarella.
  • Dish risotto into oven safe plates (ceramic pie plates work wonderfully) and cover with mozzarella slices and toss under broiler for 2-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and begins browning.
  • Serve immediately.
