Provided by Elaine Louie

Time 1h15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, finely chopped
Salt
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
4 to 5 cups vegetable broth
1 cup Carnarolli or Arborio rice
1/3 cup ouzo
1 1/3 cups grated ripe tomato (see Note)
2/3 cup creamy feta, such as Dodoni or Cephalonia, or a French feta
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh oregano leaves
Finely grated zest of a lemon
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet over medium-low heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Add onion and a little salt and stir until soft, about 6 minutes. Add garlic and stir until tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Place broth in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer.
  • Raise heat to medium, and add rice to skillet. Stir until well-coated with olive oil and starting to soften slightly, 2-3 minutes. Add 1 cup of the simmering broth. Keep stirring gently until the rice absorbs all the broth. Add ouzo and stir until absorbed.
  • Add grated tomato and stir gently until the mixture is dense. Add remaining broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring until each addition is absorbed, until the rice is creamy but al dente, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Add feta and stir until melted and risotto is creamy and thick. Stir in oregano and lemon zest, and season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
  • Note: To grate a tomato, halve crosswise and grate the cut side with a coarse grater over a strainer set over a bowl. Grate as close to the skin as possible, but discard the skin.

I made this risotto in a large batch, and it reheated well. It's a great meal to make ahead of time for busy weeknights.

This risotto is a great way to get your kids to eat vegetables. The tomatoes and spinach are hidden in the sauce, so they won't even notice they're eating them.

I love the combination of flavors in this risotto. The tomato and oregano are a classic combination, and the feta adds a bit of tanginess.

I added some cooked chicken to this risotto, and it was a great way to add some extra protein. This is a great meal for a weeknight dinner.

This risotto is a great way to use up leftover tomatoes. I had a few tomatoes that were starting to go bad, and this was a great way to use them up.

I made this risotto in a slow cooker, and it turned out perfectly. It was so easy to make, and I didn't have to babysit it on the stove.

I used vegetable broth instead of chicken broth, and it was still very flavorful. This is a great vegetarian option.

This risotto was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the tomato, oregano, and feta were perfectly balanced, and the rice was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
