is a great risotto when you have the time, it is not a lot of

| Directions |

In a large saucepan, bring the vegetable
stock to a simmer. While the stock is heating, drain the sun-dried
tomatoes and reserve the oil. Chop the tomatoes coarsely and set
them aside.

|
In a large frying pan, warm 2 tablespoons of
oil from the tomatoes, add onion and sauté until translucent;
about 6 minutes.

Add rice to the frying pan and stir until
white spots appear in the center of the grains; about 1 minute.
Spoon a ladleful of vegetable stock into the frying pan and cook
the mixture on low until all the stock is absorbed; about 2
minutes. Continue adding the stock, a ladleful at a time until the
rice is tender and the mixture is creamy, approximately 20 to 25
minutes.
