Directions: Speedy Tuna Risotto Recipe

Cooking Directions

  • STEP 1.In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic, and sauté until onions are translucent.
  • STEP 2.Add Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains with oil. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the rice is slightly toasted.
  • STEP 3.Gradually add chicken broth to the saucepan, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly. Allow the rice to absorb the broth before adding more.
  • STEP 4.Continue adding broth and stirring until the rice is cooked al dente, about 20 minutes. The risotto should be creamy and the rice should still have a slight bite.
  • STEP 5.Stir in the flaked tuna and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the tuna is heated through.
  • STEP 6.Remove from heat and let the risotto rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Cooking Tips

  • Use good quality canned tuna for the best flavor and texture.
  • Make sure to stir the risotto constantly to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • If the risotto becomes too thick, you can add a little more chicken broth or hot water to thin it out.
  • Feel free to add other ingredients like peas, cherry tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.

Storage and Serving

  • Speedy Tuna Risotto is best served immediately while it's still hot and creamy.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
  • To reheat, add a splash of chicken broth or water to the risotto and heat it in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley before serving to add a pop of color and freshness.
