Step-by-Step Instructions for Goat Cheese Risotto
  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). In a baking dish, combine halved cherry tomatoes, optional minced garlic, and fresh thyme. Drizzle with olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Cover and bake for 1½ to 2 hours until the tomatoes are soft.
  2. In a skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped shallots and optional minced garlic, sautéing for about 5 minutes until translucent.
  3. Stir in 1 cup of Arborio rice and toast for about 2 minutes until slightly translucent. Pour in ½ cup of white wine and stir gently.
  4. Gradually add warmed vegetable stock, ½ cup at a time, stirring continuously for about 18-20 minutes until the rice is creamy.
  5. Stir in 4 ounces of crumbled goat cheese until melted and creamy.
  6. Spoon risotto into bowls and top with warm tomato confit, drizzle with olive oil, and garnish with fresh herbs.
