Ingredients
- For the tomatoes:
- 12 oz Pure Flavor® RedRoyals™ Sweet Cherry Tomatoes On-The-Vine
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the risotto:
- 1 ½ cups hot water
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 cup arborio rice
- 1 shallot, diced
- ¼ cup vegan butter
- ¼ cup grated vegan parmesan
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- ½ tsp salt
- Pinch of pepper
- Fresh basil to garnish
Directions
Step 1
Preheat over to 350º F.
Step 2
Sauté the shallots with the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add in the rice and stir to ensure it is completely coated in oil.
Step 3
Add in the hot water, vegetable broth, salt and pepper. Stir, cover and place in the oven for 20 minutes.
Step 4
Place the tomatoes on a baking pan. Drizzle them generously with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven with the risotto. They will cook at the same time.
Step 5
Once the risotto has absorbed all the water and the rice is tender, remove it from the oven. Stir in the butter and parmesan until creamy.
Step 6
Spoon into bowls, top with roasted tomatoes, fresh basil and an extra sprinkle of parmesan.
