Three Pepper Risotto
Do not be intimidated by risotto! You can make it, and as long as you check on it once in a while, it will be delicious.
Serves: 6
Ingredients:
2 cups dry risotto (I prefer Rice Select, but any brand will do)
chicken bouillon (enough to reconstitute to 8 cups)
red, yellow, orange peppers (1 each) sliced thin
1 cup sundried tomatoes sliced
1 medium onion chopped
5 garlic cloves chopped
6-8 large basil leaves chopped or sliced
1/2 cup dry white wine
4 tablespoons olive oil for sauce
olive oil and butter for risotto
Make 2 cup dry risotto according to package directions. You should need 6 cups of chicken broth.
Meanwhile, saute onion and garlic in a deep skillet in olive oil until onion is translucent.
Add peppers and sundried tomatoes. Saute for 5-6 minutes.
Add 1/2 cup of white wine and basil, and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
Add 2 cups chicken broth, reduce heat to simmer, and keep hot until risotto is done.
Pour pepper sauce into risotto, stir, and serve immediately. Top with shaved parmesan and ground pepper.
