| 4 | Tomatoes | |
| 8 | Sundried tomatoes; (preferably | |
| ; Australian) | ||
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter or 2 tablespoons Marscarpone |
| ; cheese | ||
| ⅓ | cup | Grated parmigiano |
| 20 | Fresh basil leaves; cut into strips | |
| 4½ | cup | Basic vegetable or chicken stock |
| ½ | cup | Dry white wine |
| 2 | tablespoons | Butter |
| 1 | tablespoon | Olive oil |
| ½ | cup | Finely chopped onion |

Directions
Bring the stock to boil and leave on a low flame.
Melt the butter and oil in Tamaras Risotto Pot* and add the onion. Saute until the onion is transparent. Add the rice and stir to coat.
Add the wine and stir well, allowing the wine to be absorbed before adding any more liquid.
Continue adding the stock, one ladle at a time. About halfway through the cooking, add the tomatoes, chopped, and the basil and stir well. Continue to add stock until the rice is still firm to bite, and most (or all) of the liquid has been absorbed.
Stir through the parmigiano, butter or Marscarpone and freshly ground salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
