Ingredients
2 large red bell peppers, roasted and peeled
6 cups vegetable broth or low-sodium canned chicken broth
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/2 cup finely minced yellow onion
2 cups imported Arborio rice or other rice for risotto
1/2 cup dry white wine
5 to 6 basil leaves, finely shredded, or 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Cut the peppers into thin strips, then dice the strips.
Place the peppers in a bowl, cover, and set aside until ready to use.
Heat the broth in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.
Melt 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
When the butter foams, add the onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is pale yellow and soft, 4 to 5 minutes.
Add the rice and stir quickly until it is well coated with the butter and onion, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the peppers and all the juices to the rice and stir once or twice.
Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is almost all reduced.
Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth or just enough to barely cover the rice.
Cook and stir until the broth has been absorbed almost completely.
Continue cooking and stirring the rice in this manner, adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time, for 16 to 17 minutes.
When the last addition of broth is almost all reduced, add the basil or parsley, the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, and the Parmigiano to the rice.
Stir quickly for a minute or two until the butter and cheese melt and the rice has a moist, creamy consistency.
Taste, adjust the seasonings, and serve.
