Description
Looking for a change with normal risotto, this one is made with pesto and sun-dried tomatoes.
Ingredients
- FOR THE RISOTTO:
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Arborio Rice
- 2-½ cups Chicken Broth
- ¼ cups Water
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
- ¼ teaspoons Ground Pepper
- Parmesan Cheese, For Topping
- FOR THE PESTO:
- ¾ cups Sun Dried Tomatoes In Olive Oil
- ⅓ cups Pesto With Basil
- 1 teaspoon Olive Oil
- ¼ teaspoons Salt
Preparation
For the risotto:
In a large pan or pot, add the butter and heat over low/medium heat. When butter is melted, add the arborio rice. Stir the rice for 2-3 minutes and then add 1 cup of chicken broth. Keep stirring the rice until all chicken broth is absorbed and add 1 more cup. Once that is absorbed, add the remaining 1/2 cup of chicken broth along with the water. Stir in the salt and pepper.
Risotto is done when its no longer hard to bite down. Stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto sauce. Serve while warm, topped with Parmesan cheese.
For the pesto:
In a food processor, blend all of the ingredients and set aside until risotto is complete.
