Ingredients
-
7 cups vegetable or chicken stock
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
1 medium onion, chopped
-
2 cups Arborio rice, uncooked
-
½ medium zucchini, thinly sliced with a vegetable peeler
-
10 sun-dried tomatoes, softened and chopped
-
1 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed
-
6 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan (or mozzarella) cheese
-
1 tablespoon chopped fresh basil leaves, or to taste (Optional)
-
freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
-
Bring vegetable or chicken stock to a boil in a medium stock pot, then reduce heat to a low simmer.
-
Melt butter in a large, heavy bottomed stock pot over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook for 2 minutes, or until softened. Add the rice and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted. Gradually ladle in simmering vegetable stock, stirring continuously. Risotto will become "creamy" and slightly sticky, yet still firm in the center, or al dente.
-
When almost finished, stir in the zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes, and thyme, adding stock as needed and stirring continuously. Stir in basil and 3 tablespoons cheese just before serving. Divide risotto among 6 bowls, sprinkle with remaining cheese, and season with pepper to taste.
