Directions
- Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter in a large pot over medium-low heat.
- Add the leek and saute for 3-4 minutes or until fragrant.
- Add the garlic, anchovy, capers and green peas. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 4-5 minutes or until fragrant.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Remove from heat and finish with cracked black pepper, basil, shaved parmesan and lemon zest.
