Tomato and Parmesan Risotto image

Use the smallest tomatoes you can find at the market for this dish. They'll be extra sweet and have thin skins.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp. tomato paste
2 cups cherry tomatoes
1/4 tsp. freshly grated nutmeg (optional)
1 cup arborio or carnaroli rice
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
2 oz. finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup), plus more shaved for serving
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan; keep warm over medium-low heat until ready to use.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large saucepan over medium. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until golden and very soft, 8-10 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until softened, about 1 minute. Add tomato paste and cook, stirring often, until it darkens slightly and begins to stick to pan, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and nutmeg, if using, and cook, stirring occasionally, until some of the tomatoes begin to burst, about 2 minutes.
  • Stir in rice; season with salt, and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring, until some grains are translucent, about 3 minutes. Ladle in 2 cups broth and simmer, stirring frequently, until completely absorbed, 8-10 minutes. Ladle in another 2 cups broth and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until rice is cooked through and most of the broth is absorbed, 12-15 minutes.
  • Add butter, 2 oz. Parmesan, and remaining 1 cup broth and cook, stirring constantly, until risotto is very creamy looking, about 4 minutes. Taste and season with more salt if needed. Divide risotto among bowls. Top with shaved Parmesan and lots of pepper and drizzle with more oil.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my risotto turned out really mushy. I think I might have added too much liquid.

Overall, I thought this risotto was just okay. It wasn't bad, but it didn't wow me either.

The rice was a bit undercooked for my taste. I would recommend cooking it for an extra minute or two.

I found this risotto to be a bit bland. I had to add some extra salt and pepper to taste.

This tomato and parmesan risotto was an absolute delight! The flavors were perfectly balanced, with the tangy tomatoes complementing the creamy rice and nutty parmesan. The texture was also spot-on, with each grain of rice cooked to perfection.
