Risotto a la greque (a ha!) with tomato

I guess after all these recipes, you have already noticed that all , all, all, or maybe most of the all, recipes in the greek  cuisine start like that "We fry one chopped onion.."! It literally means to put 2 table spoons of olive oil into a pan or a casserole (depending the recipe), put it in medium fire, chop the onion, throw it in the oil, stir it a bit and leave it there for 2 minutes!!!
It's true!
Do you wanna learn to say it in greek and make fun at your friends?
"Tsagharizoume ena kremidi.."
Ok, we laughed enough for today, let's start cooking..
Risotto a la greque with tomato

1. Tsigharizoume ena kremidi and one green pepper (both chopped of course)
2. Add 2 cups of rice (for risotto). Season with salt and pepper. Stir the rice for 3-4 minutes.
3. Add 2 tomatoes cut julienne style. It would be better to peel off your tomatoes.
4. Add 4 cups of water for every cup of rice. So here, 8 cups of water!!
5. Ruffle (a new google translate word!) the food so as it doesn't stick to the bottom of your casserole.
6. It's ready when there is no water left; the mixture has to be thick and mushy.
7. Finish with some parsley before you remove it from the fire.
8. Serve with some sheep cheese, it's delicious!

Enjoy!!!
