Risotto al pomodoro

You know my big passion for red and tomatoes so this is a very fresh and easy recipe to enjoy a risotto also during summer!

 

 

300gr Roma or Arborio rice (for 3)

3 tbs tomato puree

1 canned peeled cherry tomatoes

10 fresh tomatoes

Fresh basil

Parmesan

Oil

Salt

 

In a casserole pour the canned tomatoes and the fresh tomatoes chopped over low-medium heat! After 10 min add the tomato puree and let it cook covered for 25/30 min.

Pour a big glass of water each 100 gr of rice plus one for the casserole, when it starts boiling, add the rice and cook for 15/18 min (add some water, if needed) without turning always over low-medium heat!

 

Turn off the heat and mix with the grated parmesan and some fresh basil.

 

 

 

  Serve with a drizzle of evo oil!

Bocconcini di pollo al basilico

There won't be the so fresh and aromatic basil anymore...(yes, summer is over) so enjoy this easy and fragrant recipe.

 

360 gr chicken breast chunks (serving 2 people)

5,6 Tablespoons Greek yogurt

fresh basil

white wine

salt

10 gr butter

oil

 

Boil some water (1/2 glass) with some fresh basil leaves and cool down.

 

Whisk together the basil infusion, the Greek yogurt, 2 Tbs oil and salt in a bowl and add the chicken chunks (they must be completely coated by the yogurt marinade). Cover and refrigerate for 3/4 hours.

 

Remove the chunks from the marinade, wiping off any excess. Set a skillet over medium heat and when hot then add the chunks. Sprinkle some white wine and finish the cook with some fresh chopped basil and 10 gr butter.
