Risotto is not the easiest dish to master. But when you make it in the microwave, risotto becomes super simple and easy to make. First, we roast tomatoes until they are blistered and begin to burst. Next, the magic happens; we make Tomato Risotto in the microwave.
Aromatics such as garlic and shallots are cooked in butter, then tomatoes, tomato sauce, and arborio rice are added and cooked until al dente. Of course, risotto would not be complete without a generous helping of Parmesan cheese, so we finished off the dish with cheese and served it up family-style with a generous topping of pesto, roasted cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil leaves. So get ready to indulge in the creamy, flavorful, delicious dish that is tomato risotto.
