directions

  • Par boil rice in chicken broth for 5 minutes or until slightly softened.
  • Drain and set aside BOTH rice AND broth.
  • Brown garlic, pepper, celery and onion over medium heat.
  • Mix in rice and rosemary, and ladle broth over top until rice is covered. Lower to medium-low heat. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes.
  • While rice is cooking, cube the tuna steak (about 1/2 inch cubes), season with black pepper and pan sear on high heat for 30 seconds on each side. Lay on top of rice and let cook at least five minutes.
  • Heat broiler to 350°F.
  • When rice is soft and broth fully reduced, mix in cream. Let cook two minutes and then set aside to steam for five minutes.
  • Cut thin slices of mozzarella.
  • Dish risotto into oven safe plates (ceramic pie plates work wonderfully) and cover with mozzarella slices and toss under broiler for 2-5 minutes, until cheese is melted and begins browning.
  • Serve immediately.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I've been working in restaraunts and bars since I was fourteen. I grew up in a family of cooks where my father would hand me a spoon and say "keep stirring this roux for the next hour. . . KEEP STIRRING!" and my grandmother had me frying foods at six years old. I spent the last two years in Spain, and for any food lover who's never been, get off your ass.
