Default Risotto with Sun Dried Tomatoes Or Sun Dried Peppers!

Risotto (slightly different than the other Risotto Recipe)

This recipe comes via Australia. It can be made with either sun-dried tomatoes or sun-dried red peppers. (Or capsicums as they are called "Down Under") We subsitituted 1 cup morel mushrooms and it was excellent.

1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
3 (14oz) cans vegetable broth
1/4 cup white wine
1 onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 cups mushrooms, sliced finely
1 cup sun dried tomatoes or peppers sliced finely
Parmesan cheese and cracked pepper

Chop mushrooms, fry in 1 Tbl oil on medium heat until cooked through and set aside. In large frypan, fry the rest of oil, garlic, onion and sun-dried tomatoes until onion is soft. Add rice, stir. Add the wine and one can of broth. Stir and let simmer on low heat for approx. 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more stock as the rice absorbs it. (You may not need all of the broth.) Serve scattered with parmesan and cracked pepper.
