Method (preview)

1. 1

   Heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.

2. 2

   Add the garlic and cook until it is golden on both sides.

3. 3

   Discard the garlic; add the tomatoes and simmer for 6 to 7 minutes.

4. 4

   Add the mozzarella, stir for less than 1 minute and turn the heat off under the skillet. (Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups sauce.)

5. 5

   Heat the broth in a medium saucepan and keep warm over low heat.

6. 6

   Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

7. 7

   When the butter foams, add the onion and cook, stirring, until the onion is pale yellow and soft, 4 to 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Add the rice and stir quickly until it is well coated with the butter and onion, 1 to 2 minutes.

9. 9

   Add the wine and cook until it is almost all reduced.

10. 10

    Add 1/2 cup of the simmering broth or just enough to barely cover the rice.

11. 11

    Cook, stirring, until the broth has been absorbed almost completely.

12. 12

    Continue cooking and stirring the rice in this manner, adding the broth 1/2 cup or so at a time for 12 to 13 minutes.

13. 13

    Now add a small ladle of the sauce and cook, stirring, until the sauce has been absorbed.

14. 14

    Keep cooking the rice, adding the sauce a little at a time, until all the sauce has been used up and the rice has a moist, creamy consistency, about 5 minutes.

15. 15

    Taste, adjust the seasoning and serve.

16. 16

    For a Risotto with Smoked Mozzarella but without the tomatoes, prepare the risotto and cook it for 18 minutes.

17. 17

    Add the cubed mozzarella directly to the risotto, stir quickly to melt the cheese, and serve.
