Method
- Heat the oil and butter together in a large, deep frying pan. Add the onions and fry over a medium heat for 5 minutes, until softened.
- Add the garlic and rice, and stir until they are coated in the oil and butter.
- Stir in the stock and half of the mixed herbs, cover and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has absorbed.
- Meanwhile, empty the tin of tomatoes into a medium bowl, add the remaining mixed herbs and whizz together with a handheld blender.
- Stir the blended tomatoes into the stock, cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes, until the rice is tender.
- Meanwhile, cook the broccoli florets in a medium pan of boiling water, for 3-4 minutes, then drain.
- Remove the risotto from the heat. Stir through the soft cheese, then the broccoli and mozzarella. Season with freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and serve immediately.
