The delicious tuna risotto with tomatoes and zucchini, is a recipe I experimented on a cold winter day, when I didn’t feel like leaving the house and therefore had to use the ingredients available left in the fridge. Fortunately, canned tuna is often at home.

Prepare the vegetable broth with celery, carrots, onion, and tomato by boiling them in a quart of water for about three quarters of an hour.
Then wash the zucchini and grate into matchsticks using a food processor or a hand grater. Sauté the finely chopped onion in a pot with the oil.
Then add the rice to toast and the tuna after a few seconds. Pour the grated zucchini into the rice along with the pureed tomatoes.
Mix and cook the tuna risotto for about fifteen minutes, stirring often and adding the prepared broth with the vegetable cube gradually.
Cook the tuna risotto with tomatoes and zucchini for about fifteen minutes until al dente. Finally, serve on plates with fresh chopped parsley on top.
Tuna Risotto with Tomatoes and Zucchini
The tuna risotto with tomatoes and zucchini is a recipe that I personally prefer with the zucchini chopped coarsely into pieces. However, I prepare it both ways, even with matchstick zucchini.
At home, they prefer just to taste the zucchini but hidden.
This is a suitable way to do it, especially to educate children to eat vegetables without trauma by disguising them in the risotto . 🙂
Naturally, avoid parsley on top for children if they do not like it. Come and peek on Pinterest of The Cook Who Recycles
