This creamy rice dish featuring canned broth and bottled roasted peppers makes a full-flavoured cheesy dish. Add to the Mediterranean feel by including chopped canned artichoke hearts.

Ingredients

  • 3-1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 cup short-grain rice
  • 1/2 cup drained botled roasted sweet red peppers, cut_in 1/2-inch (1 cm) squares
  • 1/4 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp pepper

Preparation

In small saucepan, bring stock to simmer over medium heat; reduce heat to low and keep warm.

In separate saucepan, melt butter over medium heat; cook onion, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in rice; cook, stirring, until well coated.

Add 3 cups (750 mL) of the stock, 1/2 cup (125 mL) at a time, cooking and stirring until each addition is absorbed before adding next. Stir in red peppers and remaining stock; cook, stirring, until creamy and rice is tender. (Risotto should be moist but not soupy; total cooking time is about 20 minutes.)

Remove from heat. Stir in cheese and pepper; let stand for 2 minutes.
