Risotto

Many people are not aware of this rice that is brown in color with a rich, nutty flavor that makes it especially desirable for main dishes at dinner or supper. Here is a good way to cook it by following this Italian recipe:

1. Melt in a saucepan 2 tablespoonfuls of sausage or bacon fat; lightly brown in the fat half of a small onion, sliced, and a cupful of uncooked rice.

2. Add 1 1/2 cups cooked tomatoes, 2 cups soup stock or water, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and a dash of pepper.

3. Cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid.

4. Now pick out the onion rings and stir in 1/2 cup of grated cheese.

5. Leave the dish over hot water for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to melt the cheese.

Serve while hot.
