RISOTTO DI POMODORO (TOMATO RISOTTO)

Steps:

• Heat the onion with the olive oil and butter until the onion is translucent and soft, but not coloured (10 to 15 minutes).
• Add the rice and stir to toast until it makes a squeaking sound, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add 60 mls of stock, stirring until it evaporates (1 to 2 minutes).
• Add the tomatoes, salt and 150 mls of stock, stirring continually.
• When all the broth is absorbed, add another 150 mls and repeat. Keep enough liquid in the pan and stir continuously so that the rice does not stick to the pan and cooks evenly.
• Keep adding the broth until the rice is cooked (about 20 minutes in total from when the rice was added). It should be firm to bite but not unpleasantly hard. There should be enough liquid to coat the rice but not so much that the rice floats in it. Remove the rice from the heat. Stir in the basil and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Serve topped with 50 grams each of burrata cheese (optional).
