Cooking Steps
- Pull the basil leaves off the stems.
- Prepare the stock and add the basil stems.
- Chop the onion and crush or mince the garlic. Halve the cherry tomatoes.
- Finely grate the Parmigiano Reggiano and set aside.
Did you know... cherry tomatoes may be smaller than normal tomatoes, but they are more nutrient-dense; they are richer in potassium and folic acid, as well as vitamins A and C.
- Heat a clean deep frying pan over high heat and toast the sunflower seeds until they start to turn golden-brown, then remove from the pan and set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in the same pan over high heat, then fry the onion with three quarters of the cherry tomatoes for 3 - 4 minutes.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and deglaze with the balsamic vinegar.
- Add the tomato paste, risotto rice and garlic, mix well and fry for 1 - 2 more minutes.
- Turn down the heat and add the coconut milk and a third of the stock.
- Allow the stock to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly. Repeat with the rest of the stock, adding it in two more batches.
- The risotto is done when the rice is soft but still al dente. This should take around 25 - 30 minutes.
- Add extra water and cook longer if you'd prefer the risotto to be less al dente. In the meantime, chop the basil leaves into strips.
- When the risotto is done, add the butter and half each of the basil, the Parmigiano Reggiano and the sunflower seeds.
- Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve the arugula on deep plates and top with the risotto and the rest of the cherry tomatoes.
- Garnish with the rest of the basil, Parmigiano Reggiano and sunflower seeds.
