Serves/Makes: 4
Ready in: 30-60 minutes

  • 3 plum tomatoes, peeled, chopped,
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, chopped
  • 5 cups chicken stock
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1/3 cup onion, finely minced
  • 1 1/2 cup arborio rice

Heat 2 Tablespoons butter in a skillet over moderate heat and add the tomatoes. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes until the tomatoes become tender. Add salt and pepper to taste. Remove from heat and set aside.

In a saucepan, simmer the broth for 5 minutes. Heat the remaining butter and oil in a heavy 4-quart casserole over moderate heat. Add the onion and saute for 1 or 2 minutes, until it begins to soften but not brown.

Add the rice to the onions. Using a wooden spoon, stir for 1 minute to coat. Add the wine and stir until it is completely absorbed.

Slowly add the simmering broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is almost completely absorbed before adding the next 1/2 cup, reserving about 1/4 cup to add at the end. Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
