GO, GO RISOTTO!
Boil the kettle. Set aside 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot for the risotto over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced Onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the rub and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the cooked chopped Tomato and leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir through the rice for 30-60 seconds. Add a ladleful of the reserved boiling water and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering, stirring regularly. Only add the next ladle of boiling water when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente. Season to taste.
