Risotto with Bell Peppers recipe Directions:
Wash, core and deseed the peppers. Flame them to blister the skins, peel them and cut them into thin strips.
Sauté half the minced onion in a little butter, and when it is translucent add the tomato pulp, breaking up the pieces with your fingers.
Check seasoning and simmer over a low flame stirring repeatedly, and then the sauce is somewhat reduced, add the pepper strips. Cook for a minute more and then cover the pot and turn off the flame.
Set another pot on the fire and sauté the remaining onion in half the remaining butter. As soon as the onion is a light golden remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon.
Turn the heat up slightly, and stir the rice into the drippings. Continue cooking for several minutes, stirring constantly lest the rice stick.
Return the onion to the pot and begin adding hot broth, a ladle full at a time.
When the rice is half cooked add the tomato and pepper mixture. Continue stirring in broth until the rice is at the al dente stage.
Stir the remaining butter and grated cheese to taste into the pot, and serve.
