rise and shine

We made this about a month ago, but somehow it was lost in the shuffle of pictures on the laptop. It's super easy, uses pantry staples and has a big, creamy payoff.

You need:
One medium onion
Three cloves garlic
One cup white wine (dry is better)
Two cups arborio rice
One large can crushed tomatoes
Two cups veggie stock
Olive oil
Basil (if you can't find any, sub the tomatoes for two cups tomato-basil sauce)

1. Bring stock and tomatoes to simmer in saucepan.
1. Saute finely chopped onion in olive oil until translucent, add in chopped garlic, and rice and let it get toasty-nutty for about three minutes.
2. Add in wine, cook and stir another three minutes until evaporated.
3. Add two ladlefuls of liquid at a time, stir constantly until rice is creamy and tender. This should take about 20-23 minutes.
4. Turn off heat and stir in torn basil leaves. Serve with leafy, garlicky greens, eat up!
