Preparation / Directions:
Crumble the tuna and cut up the mint leaves. Combine the two and hold on the
side. These will be added to the risotto at the end of the cooking. Finely
chop the onion an garlic and saute them in a stainless steel pot together
with
the oil. Add the tomatoes, stir and then let cook over medium heat for about
10 minutes. Salt to taste, then add the rice and stir.
Start adding the hot broth, about a ladle at a time as the rice absorbs the
hot liquid. Continue to stir the risotto as it cooks. When cooked and just
before serving add the tuna and the mint leaves. Stir well and serve hot.

type of risotto is never served with cheese.
