How to make a lovely Risotto. Step 1 Tomato Sauce. Put a dozen cocktail tomatoes in a baking dish , lined w baking paper. Throw a handful of cherry tomotoes, 1 seeded chilli, I finely dice pickling onion, 1/2 red capsicum which has been de seeded. Pour over olive oil, about 1 tablesp. Add some Greek herb mix, about 1 teasp. 1/2 teasp salt and a pinch of white pepper. Bake at 200 C . When cooled take off all the skins because you would not wish for plastic type texture in your sauce. Give a quick blend w stick blender, leaving a chunky texture. Step 2. Heat 1/4 cup olive oil in this base pot. Add I chopped white onion , cook fast until crisp. Bring heat back to medium. Add 1 1/2 cups good Italian Risotto rice. Toss a bit whilst browning. Steam up that pot w 1 cup Rose. When evaporated, add 1 cup of hot stock, I like beef bone stock. When rice begins to talk crispy on bottom of pot , add another cup of stock. Do this until your rice is nice and soft between your teeth. Take off stove and stir in tomato sauce. Step 3 using same baking dish as for tomato sauce, peel a small punnet of mushrooms and add 2 dessertsp of butter and black pepper. Put into the oven for a few minutes at 210 C until a little toasted and juicy . Take out of oven and add to Risotto rice mixture. Step 4. . In the mushroom baking dish add a few slices of your favourite Italian sausage and cook till it looks unbearably delicious. Serve on top of Risotto with chopped parsley. The ultimate Winter comfort food.
