Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

1 tb Olive oil
2 tb Butter
1 sm Onion, peeled and chopped
1 md Red bell pepper, seeded
And finely chopped
2 md Cloves garlic, minced
1 1/2 c Arborio rice
1/4 ts Hot red pepper flakes
5 c Chicken broth, heated

6 Sun-dried tomatoes packed in
Oil, drained and slivered
1 c Shredded part-skim
Mozzarella
1/4 c Finely chopped parsley
2 tb Grated Parmesan cheese

1. In a large skillet, preferably nonstick, or large pot, heat the
oil and butter over medium heat until hot. Add the onion and red
pepper; saute 5 minutes. Add the garlic and saute an additional
minute.

2. Stir in the rice and hot pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, 2 minutes.
Slowly start to add the liquid, about a ladleful at a time. Cook,
covered, over medium-low heat, 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the liquid slowly and stir often. Wait until the liquid has been
absorbed each time before adding the next ladleful. Repeat the
cooking process, covered, 10 minutes.

3. Uncover and add the olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Continue
adding the liquid and stirring often. The risotto should cook in
about 30 minutes. (The finished risotto should be creamy, with a
little chewiness at the center of the rice.)

4. Add the mozzarella, parsley and Parmesan, stirring until the
cheese has melted.
