Sun-dried tomato risotto

  by mike saunders
Preperation time: 10 mins
Cooking time: 30 mins
Serves: 4

Recipe Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil;
2 tbsp butter;
1 large onion, finely chopped;
350g risotto rice (such as arborio);
about 15 strands of saffron;
150ml white wine;
850ml hot vegetable or chicken stock;
8 sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips;
100g frozen peas, defrosted;
50g Parma ham, shredded;
75g parmesan cheese, grated.
 
Recipe Method
Heat the oil in a large pan and cook the onion for 5 minutes until softened.

Add the rice and saffron and stir well to coat the rice grains in the oil. Cook for 1 minute.

Add the wine and stock slowly, a ladleful at a time, stirring and making sure that all the liquid is absorbed before adding the next ladleful of liquid.

About half-way through adding the stock, stir in the sun-dried tomatoes.

Once all the liquid has been absorbed, and the rice is tender, add the peas, parma ham and parmesan. Cook for a further 3 minutes. Serve with some parmesan grated on the top.
