I found this recipe online on a chat board....maybe on www.thenest.com but I am not sure (I want to give credit but I can't remember!). It's easy and oh so tasty! My husband requests this all the time. It's great as meal or side dish. My 3 year old also enjoys this one which is a real bonus for me. Enjoy!
2 cloves garlic minced
1 onion chopped fine
2-3 T olive oil
1 cup aborio rice
1/2 cup sun dried tomatoes chopped fine (that were packed in oil)
2 T oil (reserved from the sun dried tomatoes)
1/4 cup fresh basil chopped fine
2 T fresh Italian flat leaf parsley chopped fine
4-5 cups low fat, low sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (I like imported)
Saute onion, garlic and aborio rice in olive oil until onion is soft (a few minutes). Add 1 large ladle of chicken broth, sun dried tomatoes, basil and parsley. Cook over medium heat for a few minutes. Add in oil from sun dried tomatoes. Add in 1 ladle full of broth at a time and keep stirring rice until liquid is absorbed. Keep repeating this process until most or all of broth is gone and the rice is cooked through (it takes about 30 minutes or so). Once rice is cooked - add salt and pepper to taste and Parmesan cheese. Mix thoroughly and serve.
