Tuna Chilli Risotto (Low Fat) image

I use stock to sauté the onions because my DH cannot have fat in his diet - it works very well, maybe it is just a little quicker to soften if oil is used. UPDATE - As my DH is no longer on a fat free diet, I now use extra virgin olive oil instead of the stock to saute the onion/leek and rice.
