Sun Dried Tomato Risotto With Mozzarella Recipes

SUN-DRIED TOMATO RISOTTO WITH MOZZARELLA

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, bring stock to a simmer. While the stock is heating up, drain sun-dried tomatoes, reserving the oil. Coarsely chop tomatoes and set aside.
• In a large skillet, warm 2 tablespoons tomato oil, add onion and saute until translucent, about 6 minutes.
• Add rice to the pan and stir until white spots begin to appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minute. Spoon a ladle full of the vegetable stock into the pan and cook on low until all of the stock is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue adding stock one ladle full at a time until the rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 20-25 minutes.
• Add cheeses, sun-dried tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of remaining tomato oil, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix well and serve.

RISOTTO WITH MOZZARELLA AND SUN-DRIED TOMATOES

Steps:

• In a saucepan over medium-high heat, bring the stock to a simmer. Adjust the heat to keep the liquid hot. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and reserve the oil. Add olive oil if need to the oil from the jar to equal 4 tablespoons. Chop the sun-dried tomatoes and set aside. In a large, heavy saucepan over medium-low heat, warm 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil. Add the onion and saute until transluscent, about 8 minutes. Add the rice and stir until white spots appear in the center of the grains, about 1 minutes. Add a ladleful of the hot stock, adjust the heat to maintain a simmer and cook, stirring constantly until the liquid is absorbed, about 2 minutes. Continue adding the liquid, a ladleful at a time and stirring constantly until the rice is just tender but slightly firm in the center and mixture is creamy, 20-25 minutes longer. Add the mozzarella, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, chopped basil and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Stir to mix well. Serve and garnish with basil leaves.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a small saucepan simmer the tomatoes in the water for 1 minute, drain them, reserving the liquid, and chop them. In a saucepan combine the reserved cooking liquid and the broth, bring the liquid to a simmer, and keep it at a bare simmer. In a large saucepan cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the rice, stirring until each grain is coated with oil, and stir in the tomatoes. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering liquid and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the liquid, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each portion be absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still al dente. (The rice should take about 17 minutes to become al dente.) Stir in the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle the risotto with the parsley.

BAKED TOMATO, MOZZARELLA & BASIL RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the oil in an ovenproof pan or casserole dish, then stir in the onion and cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins until golden. Scatter over the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine, if using, and cook for 2 mins until absorbed. Pour over the hot stock, then give the rice a quick stir. Put the dish in the oven and bake the rice for 10 mins.
• Remove from the oven and stir through the tomatoes, basil, half of the parmesan and some seasoning. Flatten everything out roughly with the back of a spoon, then nestle the chunks of mozzarella evenly into the risotto. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and the remaining parmesan, and drizzle with the rest of the olive oil. Put the dish back in the oven, and bake everything for another 10-15 mins until the rice is just cooked through, heating it under the grill if you want a deep, golden crust. Leave to stand for a few minutes, scatter with a few extra basil leaves and serve scooped straight from the dish.
