In this article, I’ll show you how to prepare a creamy and fruity tomato risotto with pine nuts in just 30 minutes.
Risotto is now one of my favorite foods, although I wasn’t a huge fan of rice dishes until a few months ago. But I was taught better and, above all, learned that when it comes to rice, the right preparation is more important than ever. A good risotto therefore has to be creamy (some also say sloppy), firm to the bite and well seasoned.
For my tomato risotto with pine nuts you don’t need anything more than risotto rice, shallots and garlic, tomato paste, strong cherry tomatoes, parmesan, salt, pepper, pine nuts, fresh basil, butter and water. The recipe is simple: sauté shallots and garlic. Add the rice and mix with tomato paste. Roast everything briefly and then quench with water and bring to the boil. It is important during this process that the rice is only cooked with enough water to just cover the rice. Here it is necessary that the tomato risotto is stirred continuously, otherwise it could fry. This process is repeated for about 25 minutes until the water boils and the rice is cooked through. Then only butter, salt, pepper, basil and parmesan are stirred in and the tomato risotto is ready. All that remains is to roast the pine nuts to serve.
