Tomato Risotto
Risotto is an all-year dish, you can make it hearty in the winter with root vegetables and light and fresh in the spring and summer with peas, asparagus and like here, with tomatoes.
Inspiration for this risotto was a NYT recipe but I did my thing and we loved it. To make start with the oil, shallots, and rice, then add wine and cherry tomatoes and reduce. Then start adding the stock, a bit at a time, stirring, until the rice is cooked through. Add grated Parmesan or pecorino, cover and let rest a bit. Uncover, add a handful of chopped parsley. Garnish with roasted cherry tomatoes.
