Risotto is an Italian rice dish made with short-grain Arborio rice. As you cook the rice, keep adding simmering liquid so that it will be thick and creamy Ingredients:
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can vegetable broth |
2 3/4 cups water |
cooking spray |
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons arborio rice, uncooked |
1/4 cup diced dried tomato (packed without oil) |
2/3 cup frozen english peas, thawed |
2/3 cup (2 2/3 ounces) freshly grated parmesan cheese |
1/3 cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped |
1 teaspoon dried italian seasoning |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. Combine broth and water in a medium saucepan; place over medium heat. Cover and bring to a simmer; reduce heat to low, and keep warm. (Do not boil.) 2. Coat a large saucepan with cooking spray; place over medium-low heat until hot. Add rice and 1 cup simmering broth mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until most of liquid is absorbed. Add 1 1/2 cups broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring constantly until each 1/2 cup addition is absorbed. Stir in tomato. Add remaining 2 cups broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring constantly until each 1/2 cup addition is absorbed. (Rice will be tender and will have a creamy consistency.) Add peas and remaining ingredients, stirring until cheese melts; serve immediately. |
