- Heat the oil and the butter together in a large heavy-based saucepan over a medium heat. Saute theshallotsgently for 4-5 minutes then add thegarlicand continue to cook for a further 2 minutes.
- Add the rice and coat thoroughly in the butter, oil and shallot mixture and cook for 3-4 minutes or until the grains start to turn translucent. Add the white wine and increase the heat to allow it to evaporate almost entirely. Stir in the tomato purée and canned choppedtomatoes, then add a ladle of hot vegetablestockto the risotto, one at a time, stirring frequently until they are absorbed into the rice.
