Risotto with Sun-Dried Tomatoes and Mozzarella recipe

6 servings

Ingredients:

5 1/2 cups vegetable stock

1/3 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes

1 onion, chopped

2 cups Arborio rice

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a simmer.

While the stock is heating, drain the sun-dried tomatoes and reserve the oil.

Chop the tomatoes coarsely and set them aside.

In a large frying pan, warm 2 tablespoons of oil from the tomatoes, add onion and saute until translucent; about 6 minutes.

Add rice to the frying pan and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains; about 1 minute.

Spoon a ladleful of vegetable stock into the frying pan and cook the mixture on low until all the stock is absorbed; about 2 minutes.

Continue adding the stock, a ladleful at a time until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 20 to 25 minutes.

Add the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of the remaining oil from the tomatoes, chopped basil, and salt and pepper.

Mix well and serve.
