This is one of those “best of both worlds” type recipes. Combining all my favorite things about ratatouille and risotto until they meld into one extra delicious food is a feat. This is a bit busy as a recipe but the end result is well worth the effort and it certainly makes sure you’ll get your daily dose of vegetables in one sitting.
Ratatouille Risotto
Heat the olive oil in a stockpot and add the vegeables, garlic, and a pinch of salt. Cooking for 10 minutes until all the vegetables have just started to soften.
Add the risotto rice to the pot, stir for a minute then add the tomato puree and 1/4 of the stock. Cook until the stock is nearly all absorbed.
Add the sundried tomatoes and oregano and another 1/4 of the stock making sure to stir regularly.
Continue to add stock once the last addition has almost been absorbed.
Add stock and stir regularly until all the stock is used and the rice has absorbed all of it.
Turn the heat off and mix in the parmesan, creme fraiche, basil, salt and pepper to taste.
