To prepare ours “Creamy tomato risotto” recipe Let's start by cutting the onion into thin slices, which will be placed in a large pan and fried over a very low heat in about three tablespoons of oil. After 7/8 minutes, the onion will have become transparent: it's time to pour in the rice and let it toast for about two minutes. At this point we will add a ladle of vegetable broth and wait for it to evaporate.
Once the rice has dried, we can add our preserved datterini tomatoes, tomato puree and another ladle of broth. From here on out, all you have to do is make sure to add more broth, little by little, following the evaporation times.
When the rice is almost completely cooked you can add the basil broken up with your hands and, after turning off the heat, butter and cheese for the final creaming.
