This is a fabulous dish of deliciousness. Really it does not get any better than this. Well, maybe with all fresh vegetables from the garden. For sure I will be making this in the summer. And it would be so nice on the grill. It's a meal in itself but I dont see why you couldnt add a grilled piece of chicken along side. For me, I was totally content just having the risotto.

i'll happily leap upon anything containing sundried tomatoes, even if rice is involved! :)
