TOMATO RISOTTO (RISOTTO AL POMODORO)



Tomato Risotto (Risotto Al Pomodoro) image

This is a favorite around our place. Best when you can use fresh sun-ripened tomatoes with lots of flavor and nice red color. Requires lots of hands-on time, but definitely worth it. This comes from a cookbook called "Risotto" which contains all vegetarian recipes.

TOMATO RISOTTO



Tomato Risotto image

Once you master the risotto technique, you can make flavorful versions throughout the year. This summery version is based on red, ripe tomatoes from the garden, but if you want to up the tomato quotient, surround the finished dish with slices of multicolored heirloom varieties. Best as a first course or vegetarian main course, it could also pair with a main course - grilled fish, for instance.

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Extra-virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced (about 1 1/2 cups)
Salt and pepper
1 1/2 cups arborio or carnaroli rice
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
2 garlic cloves
1/2 cup white wine
2 cups diced ripe red tomatoes
3 cups boiling water or vegetable broth
1/2 cup grated pecorino or Parmesan, plus more for serving
4 medium tomatoes, in different colors, sliced
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Snipped basil, for garnish

Steps:

  • Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, and season generously with salt. Add pepper to taste, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the rice and cook the onions, stirring, until the onions are barely brown, about 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, garlic, white wine and diced tomatoes, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
  • Add 2 cups boiling water and adjust the heat to a brisk simmer. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring well with a wooden spoon every minute or so.
  • When the liquid is absorbed, add remaining 1 cup water and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the rice is cooked, but the grains are still firm. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding another splash of water if necessary to loosen the mixture. Turn off the heat, stir in the pecorino and 2 more tablespoons olive oil.
  • Transfer to a low, wide serving bowl. Surround the rice with tomato slices and season them with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Pass more grated cheese at the table.
