Risotto Al Pomodoro Tomato Risotto Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Set Global Sun Oven out to preheat. Bring broth to boil in a medium pot. Heat butter in a separate light-weight dark pot over medium high heat. Add onions and sauté until translucent, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice, sauté for about 1 minute. Add wine; cook until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomato puree and then the hot broth, cover and transfer the pot to the Sun Oven. Cook for 25 minutes. Take a quick peek to see if the broth has been absorbed, if not continue cooking for another 5 minutes. Remove from Sun Oven, stir in the cheese and basil. Serve immediately. Pass the additional cheese for each person to add to taste.
