TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Put 3 tablespoons olive oil in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat, then add the onion, and season generously with salt. Add pepper to taste, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the rice and cook the onions, stirring, until the onions are barely brown, about 2 minutes. Add red-pepper flakes, garlic, white wine and diced tomatoes, and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes more.
• Add 2 cups boiling water and adjust the heat to a brisk simmer. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes, stirring well with a wooden spoon every minute or so.
• When the liquid is absorbed, add remaining 1 cup water and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, until the rice is cooked, but the grains are still firm. Taste and adjust the seasoning, adding another splash of water if necessary to loosen the mixture. Turn off the heat, stir in the pecorino and 2 more tablespoons olive oil.
• Transfer to a low, wide serving bowl. Surround the rice with tomato slices and season them with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley and basil. Pass more grated cheese at the table.

RISOTTO DI POMODORO (TOMATO RISOTTO)

Steps:

• Heat the onion with the olive oil and butter until the onion is translucent and soft, but not coloured (10 to 15 minutes).
• Add the rice and stir to toast until it makes a squeaking sound, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Add 60 mls of stock, stirring until it evaporates (1 to 2 minutes).
• Add the tomatoes, salt and 150 mls of stock, stirring continually.
• When all the broth is absorbed, add another 150 mls and repeat. Keep enough liquid in the pan and stir continuously so that the rice does not stick to the pan and cooks evenly.
• Keep adding the broth until the rice is cooked (about 20 minutes in total from when the rice was added). It should be firm to bite but not unpleasantly hard. There should be enough liquid to coat the rice but not so much that the rice floats in it. Remove the rice from the heat. Stir in the basil and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
• Serve topped with 50 grams each of burrata cheese (optional).
