Preparation

Bring broth or fish stock to boil.

Add rice and stir to coat well.

Stir in wine and cook over high heat, stirring, until wine is absorbed.
- Step 5
Add tomatoes, with the herbs, stirring until liquid evaporates.

This is a good starting point for a spring dish, when peas, leeks (which I subbed) and salmon are fresh. But the tomatoes make no sense for a seasonal dish. I left them and the Italian herbs (oregano, marjoram) out, opting for fresh thyme and a dash of spring parsley at the end. Yum.
Great boat recipe as most of the ingredients are pantry/freezer items. Very tasty, too.
