Tuna Risotto Recipe

Risotto is wonderful comfort food; creamy and delicious. Adding good quality tuna to the dish updates it and adds great nutrition. Tuna risotto is inexpensive, too, and kids will love it. But if you want to splurge and make this recipe the best it can be, look for tuna packed in olive oil and imported from italy. You can find this product online and in some large grocery stores. The tuna is very mild and has the most wonderful texture. As with all risotto, the amount of liquid you add depends on how firm or liquid you like your risotto, as well as the age and dryness of the rice. All rice is different, depending on where it was grown and how long it was stored. You may need to add all of the chicken broth plus some extra. You can also add water instead of the extra broth. Serve this dish with a green salad tossed with cherry tomatoes and sliced mushrooms, drizzled with a savory dressing. A glass of white wine is an excellent complement.
