    Ingredients
    โ€ข 3 tbsp Olive Oil
    โ€ข 1 tbsp Tomato Paste
    โ€ข 1 tsp Minced Garlic
    โ€ข 2 pints Cherry or Grape Tomatoes halved
    โ€ข 1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
    โ€ข 2 sprigs Thyme
    โ€ข Kosher Salt + Black Pepper
    โ€ข 2 tbsp Butter
    โ€ข 1 cup Risotto Rice
    โ€ข 1 Shallot minced
    โ€ข 1/4 cup Dry Sherry
    โ€ข 4 cups Boiling Water
    โ€ข 1/2 cup Fresh Basil chopped
    โ€ข 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
    โ€ข 1 cup Bocconcini Cheese halved
    Instructions
    1 Heat oven to 450 F with a rack in the middle position. In a 9ร—13 inch baking pan, mix the oil and tomato paste. Add the tomatoes, garlic, pepper flakes, thyme and 1/2 tsp salt.
    2 Roast until the tomatoes have softened and begin to char, 35-40 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Remove and discard the thyme, set the tomatoes aside.
    3 In a large skillet over medium-high melt the butter. Add the shallots and stir for 2-3 minutes until tender.
    4 Add the risotto rice and 1/2 tsp salt, then cook, stirring constantly, until the rice grains are translucent at the edges, 2-3 minutes. Add the sherry and cook, stirring until evaporated.
    5 Add 2.5 cups of boiling water and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and cook, stirring often until the grains are almost tender but still firm at the centre, 8-10 minutes.
    6 Add 1 cup of the remaining boiling water and cook, stirring often and briskly, until the rice is al dente, 5-7 minutes. The risotto should be loose but not soupy.
    7 Off heat, stir in the tomatoes with juice, basil and parmesan cheese. Taste and season with salt and pepper.
    8 Serve immediately topped with bocconcini cheese.

    Italians (the most of all I hope) never put a caprese on risotto. It’s not an italian way to put everything on everything……. but “de gustibus non est disputandum” as the ancient Latins said

    That looks like American rice, not risotto.

    It’s not Italian food! It’s just crap in a dog bowl ๐Ÿคฃ

    Leaving the questionable choice of rice aside, caprese has fresh raw tomatoes

    That’s not risotto, that’s just rice.
