Tuna Risotto

Meal Type: Mains

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 large leek, white part only, thinly sliced and rinsed
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 4 Club Des Millionnaires anchovy fillets
  • 2 tbsp capers
  • 1 cup frozen green peas, thawed
  • 1 ½ cups arborio rice
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 6 cups chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice (roughly 4 tbsp juice)
  • 1 cup parmesan, (½ grated, ½ shaved)
  • 3 cans (80g) Ocean’s Solid Light Tuna in Basil-Infused Oil, not drained
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a large pot over medium-low heat.
  2. Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes or until fragrant.
  3. Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and green peas. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until fragrant.
  4. Add the rice to the pot and stir to combine. Cook for 2 minutes or until the rice turns translucent. Turn the heat to medium-high, add the wine and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir frequently until all of the wine is absorbed.
  5. Turn heat down to medium and add the chicken broth, ½ cup at a time. Stir until absorbed before adding more broth. This whole process should take about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  6. Turn heat down to medium-low and add in lemon juice, ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese and tuna (with the basil-infused oil). Stir to combine.
  7. Remove from heat and finish with cracked black pepper, basil, shaved parmesan and lemon zest.
