Chicory and Sun-dried Tomato Risotto

A creamy risotto, made with proper risotto rice such as the arborio or carnaroli varieties, is always a treat. Risottos do need stirring almost constantly while you cook but they are ideal for an informal kitchen meal and need no other accompaniment, except perhaps a leaf or two of green salad. If possible, use home-made stock — if it is good it makes a great difference.
