Method
1
To make the risotto, add a glug of oil to a large pan over a medium heat. Add the onions and cook until softened but not coloured. Meanwhile, heat the chicken stock in a pan over a low heat
- olive oil
- 1 onion, very large, diced
- 250ml of chicken stock, or water
2
Add the rice to the onions and stir. Toast until the rice is extremely hot, then deglaze with the wine. Remove from the heat and allow to sit for 5 minutes
- 250g of risotto rice
- 190ml of white wine
4
Return to the heat, add 2 ladles of stock and bring to the simmer while stirring continuously, until the stock has been absorbed. Keep cooking like this, adding one ladle of stock at a time, until it is all soaked up
5
Pour in the passata and continue cooking, adding a little more water if necessary, until it has been absorbed and the rice is cooked through. Beat in the cubed butter and grated Parmesan and remove from the heat – it should be nice and glossy
6
Serve the risotto and pour the marinated anchovies all over the top – this will have a large amount of oil over the top but it is key to the finishing off the dish, so do not skimp!
