Risotto is a great comfort food. It is filling and the creamy rice really sticks to your ribs. This risotto has some garlicky roasted tomatoes thrown in the mix for good measure. br
Ingredients
2 tsp. butter
½ onion, diced
1 cup arborio rice
¼ cup red wine
2 cups chicken stock
½ pint tomatoes, roasted with garlic and olive oil
Directions
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it softens. Add in arborio rice and toast for approximately 1 minute. Add in red wine. Stir and let the rice absorb the wine. Once the wine has been absorbed, add in ¼ cup chicken stock. Stir and let the rice absorb that as well. This will be a slow process. Repeat the process until you have no more chicken stock. Add in the tomatoes and stir gently to combine.
