Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 1/2 cups vegetable stock
1/3 cup sun-dried tomato
1 onion, chopped
2 cups arborio rice
1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped
to taste salt and pepper

Steps:

In a large saucepan, bring stock to a simmer. While the stock is heating up, drain sun-dried tomatoes, reserving the oil. Coarsely chop tomatoes and set aside.
In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons tomato oil, add onion and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes.
Add rice to the pan and stir until white spots begin to appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minute. Spoon a ladle full of the vegetable stock into the pan and cook on low until all of the stock is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue adding stock one ladle full at a time until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 20-25 minutes.
Add cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of remaining tomato oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and serve.
