    Hearty risotto. A bit tart. Purple colored.

    Ingredients

    • -3/4 cup red wine (I used shiraz)
    • -1/3 of a large white onion
    • -about 20 ounces chicken broth
    • -1 1/2 cups arborio rice
    • -5 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes suspended in olive oil
    • -1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
    • -salt
    • -pepper

    Directions

    1. Heat 5 tablespoons of the just the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes
    2. Cook the onion in the oil until translucent (~3 min), stirring constantly.
    3. Add the rice and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for 2 minutes and stir constantly to prevent burning and excessive sticking. A small amount of sticking is fine as the soon-to-be-added liquid will fix that.
    4. Lower the heat and add the wine and vinegar. Stir constantly until fully absorbed.
    5. Add the chicken broth 1/2 cup at a time. Allow each 1/2 cup to fully absorb and be reduced before adding the next 1/2 cup. Stir constantly. Stop when the rice is soft and finished. In total this process will take 20-25 minutes.
    6. Remove from heat and allow to rest. Liberally add the black pepper.

      Hi John,

      I made up that recipe for dinner tonight from what I happened to have around and it turned out pretty well.

      The website is looking really good. The interface is very enjoyable to use and it seems like there's already a lot of quality content. I noticed that you have integrated your site with a few others (such as Digg and StumbleUpon) and was curious why you have not done so with Facebook (I worked there last summer).
