tomato risotto recipe 2 portions 
for the stock
500g ripe tomatoes
240ml veg or chicken stock
(I added basil stalks and a clove of garlic)
the risotto 
150g carnaroli or arborio rice 
2 tbsp virgin olive oil 
1 red onion diced
1 stick of celery diced
1 clove garlic minced
1 glass of white or rose wine
30g parmesan cheese grated
picked basil leaves, torn mozzarella and roasted cherry tomatoes for garnish

In this short video I edited out adding garlic and basil stalks to the tomatoes in the blender because of time but I do recommend this extra flavour. 

I'd never made tomato risotto before but I have a harvest of homegrown tomatoes and thought I'd see how a tomato risotto turned out. I was concerned that it might be a little bland and was surprised how tasty the finished dish was, the colour is also fantastic.
