How to Make Sun Dried Tomato Risotto

  1. Rehydrate 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes in a bowl of warm water for 20 minutes. Drain, reserving the water.
  2. In a saucepan, bring 6 cups of chicken stock to a simmer over low heat. Keep warm.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
  4. Add 1 medium onion, finely chopped, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  5. Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook for 1 minute more.
  6. Add 1 ½ cups Arborio rice to the pot. Stir constantly for 1 minute until the grains are well coated in oil.
  7. Add 1 cup of the warm chicken stock to the rice, stirring constantly until absorbed.
  8. Continue adding the stock, 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently, and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 20-25 minutes.
  9. Stir in ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese and ½ cup of the rehydrated sun-dried tomatoes.
  10. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Add reserved sun-dried tomato water for extra flavor if needed.
  11. If the risotto is too thick, add a little more stock until it reaches your desired consistency.
  12. Divide the risotto among serving bowls. Top with the remaining ½ cup Parmesan cheese and ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes.
