Tomato and Basil Risotto / Risotto Filante al Pomodoro e Basilico

a.k.a. Risotto Margharita (tomato, mozzarella, basil).

It was quite nice, but could have been just a bit more exciting for my taste. I needed more stock (I only made half a recipe, and needed about 400 ml extra), but maybe it would have helped to use a slightly smaller pan. I also used the juice from the tomato seeds (peeled and de-seeded the (washed) tomatoes above a bowl, then sieved that stuff).

Edited a day later: I made the second half of the four servings today. This time I used a bit more rice and consequently also a bit more stock; I also added about half a garlic clove, two extra tomatoes (resulting in about 550 g of tomato weighed before peeling and de-seeding instead of 250 g), and 125 g instead of 75 g of mozzarella. Overall, it was a little more interesting. It was definitely more creamy (mozzarella!), and although the garlic clove wasn't noticeable, I'm sure it also spiced things a bit up (everything savoury is more delicious with a little garlic added to the mix!). Next time I would even use a whole garlic clove, or rather two cloves for the whole four serving dish.

Edited 5 August 2017: I made this risotto using my pressure cooker (see this review for how that worked), but also changed a few things. Main change: Instead of cooking the tomatoes with the rice, I chopped them into eighths (they were large) and roasted them at about 150-160 C for about 1 hr 15 min with just a little oil, and added them at the very end. I think next time I'll even cook 250 g tomatoes (skinned and deseeded) with the rice, and oven-roast another 500 g tomatoes as I did today. And as recommended the last time, I added two cloves garlic, a little fresh thyme and fresh oregano to the rice before/while cooking.
