Ingredients

  • 1½ cups Arborio rice
  • 5 cups chicken stock divided (homemade, if available)
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • ½ pint tomatoes quartered

For garnish:

  • 2-3 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
  • shaved Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 350°F and spray a Dutch oven with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Pour the rice and 4 cups chicken stock in the Dutch oven and stir. Cover and bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. At this point, the rice should be cooked to al dente.
    1½ cups Arborio rice, 5 cups chicken stock
  • Remove the rice from the oven and add Parmesan cheese, wine, butter, salt, black pepper, tomatoes and the remaining 1-cup chicken stock. Gently mix.

  • Sprinkle with chopped basil and shaved Parmesan and serve while hot.

Notes

  • Be sure to spray the dutch oven with non-stick cooking spray before adding the ingredients.
  • Use a low-sodium broth or make your own broth. 
  • Arborio rice is the only rice you should be using in this recipe, it's widely available and I insist you don't substitute it!
  • The fresh tomatoes and basil leaves added at the end really lift the flavor and color of this dish—use the freshest you can find.
