AMIEs HERBED TOMATOE RISOTTO

Heat half the butter and the oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over low-medium heat. Add the onion and garlic, and saute until softened. Add the rice, stirring to coat, and cook for 2 minutes until translucent.

Add the tomatoes, sage and rosemary, and stir to combine. Gradually add the stock, a ladle at a time, stirring constantly. Ensure the liquid is absorbed before the next addition. Cook for 20-25 minutes, adding the stock gradually and stirring continously, until the rice is al dente.

Stir in the parmesan and the remaining butter. Stir until the cheese melts. Season with salt and pepper. Serves hot! Share and enjoy.
