• Add rice and let it be covered with oil and than add wine and cook it 2 minute until alcohol evaporates.
• Add tomato juice, salt, pepper, oregano and water. Mix everything and leave it cook for 15 minutes.
• If there is not enough water add only hot water. Before end (that's on you to decide) add hard cheese to melt in risotto.

WANCHEESE FISHERMAN'S RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. After the pan is hot, add the olive oil and bacon. Saute for 30 seconds, and then add the shrimp and scallops. Stir to keep from sticking, and cook for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Add the risotto, chicken stock, crabmeat, tomatoes, corn, spinach, salt and pepper. Delicately stir the ingredients together, best done with a wooden spoon. Now turn the heat to medium-low, and cook until the stock has cooked away, about 2 minutes. Add cheese and butter stir for 1 minute. Serve in a pasta bowl.

RISOTTO COI FRUTTI DI MARE (RISOTTO WITH SEAFOOD)

Steps:

• Separate the cleaned shrimp in two equal portions. Mince or grind one portion and set aside. Cut the remaining shrimp into larger pieces and set aside.
• In a large heavy-bottomed pot, saute the onion in the olive oil over medium heat. When the onion is translucent, add the garlic and stir for a minute.
• Add 2 tablespoons of the parsley and stir once or twice.
• Add the chopped squid. Cook for a minute or two, stirring, until the squid changes color from translucent to flat white.
• Add the wine and bubble for about a minute.
• Add the tomatoes, turn down the heat to low, and cover. Simmer for about 45 minutes; the oil will separate. Do not add salt at this point, as it will toughen the squid. (Can be made ahead to this point and refrigerated. Bring up to the simmer to complete the recipe.).
• In a separate pot simmer the water.
• Add the rice to the squid reduction over medium high heat, stirring well to thoroughly coat the rice.
• Add a ladle of the simmering water, stirring the rice constantly to wipe it away from the sides and bottom of the pot. When the water has been absorbed or has evaporated, add another ladleful of water and continue stirring. Continue to add water as it is absorbed. The rice should not be inundated with water, and the heat should remain medium-high.
• After about 15 minutes add the ground shrimp, salt to taste and several grindings of black pepper.
• Continue to cook, stirring and adding water. About 5 minutes before the rice is done, add the larger pieces of shrimp and hot pepper to taste. Correct for salt and pepper.
• The rice is done when it is tender without being mushy. It should not be chewy or chalky. It should be fairly liquid.
• Just before serving, off heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil and the remaining chopped parsley.

DALMATIAN CHICKEN RISOTTO

Steps:

• Cut chicken meat into small pieces (1-2 cm large).
• Mince onion very finely.
• If you use fresh plum tomato first soak them 2-4 minutes in hot water, remove skin and "shave the best red part from it", remove seeds and cut into small pieces. If you use canned tomato, skip this part.
• Finely mince parsley.
• Sauté onion on oil until translucent, than add chicken and sauté on easy fire until becomes white. During this add salt, pepper, parsley, basil and oregano. Than add tomatoes. Sauté until most of the water evaporates.
• Wash rice and add into chicken. Following the manufacturers manual (3:1 - water : rice, usually) add chicken stock. Remember that you have some water already in the pot, so count this water out. Cook about 20 minutes (again follow the manual).
• Just before end, add hard goat cheese cut into very small pieces in the risotto to melt. Cheese will coagulate risotto and give nice taste. Serve with grated parmesan.
