Steps:
- In a small saucepan simmer the tomatoes in the water for 1 minute, drain them, reserving the liquid, and chop them. In a saucepan combine the reserved cooking liquid and the broth, bring the liquid to a simmer, and keep it at a bare simmer. In a large saucepan cook the onion and the garlic in the oil over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened, add the rice, stirring until each grain is coated with oil, and stir in the tomatoes. Add 1/2 cup of the simmering liquid and cook the mixture over moderate heat, stirring constantly, until the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the liquid, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly and letting each portion be absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is tender but still al dente. (The rice should take about 17 minutes to become al dente.) Stir in the Parmesan and salt and pepper to taste and sprinkle the risotto with the parsley.

Steps:
- Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Heat half the oil in an ovenproof pan or casserole dish, then stir in the onion and cook over a low heat for 8-10 mins until golden. Scatter over the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine, if using, and cook for 2 mins until absorbed. Pour over the hot stock, then give the rice a quick stir. Put the dish in the oven and bake the rice for 10 mins.
- Remove from the oven and stir through the tomatoes, basil, half of the parmesan and some seasoning. Flatten everything out roughly with the back of a spoon, then nestle the chunks of mozzarella evenly into the risotto. Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and the remaining parmesan, and drizzle with the rest of the olive oil. Put the dish back in the oven, and bake everything for another 10-15 mins until the rice is just cooked through, heating it under the grill if you want a deep, golden crust. Leave to stand for a few minutes, scatter with a few extra basil leaves and serve scooped straight from the dish.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the final flavor of your risotto. Look for sun-dried tomatoes that are plump and flavorful, and use a good quality mozzarella cheese.
- Don't overcook the rice: Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. If you overcook it, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Stir the risotto constantly: This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan and will also help to release the starch from the rice, which will create a creamy sauce.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella cheese at the end of cooking: This will help to prevent the tomatoes from becoming too dry and the mozzarella cheese from melting completely. You want the mozzarella to be slightly melted and gooey.
- Season the risotto to taste: You may want to add a little bit of salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a handful of chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley.
Conclusion:
Risotto with sun-dried tomatoes and mozzarella is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. It is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish, and it is sure to impress your guests.
