Just think about this, an Englishman, specialising in British food in Italy, cooking risotto for Positano's mayor? Doesn't really fit does it, but hey ho, I'm always up for a challenge.

- 150g risotto rice
- about 600mls fish stock
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh basil

- Heat 2 more tbsp oil, add the onion and garlic and soften for 2-3 minutes
- Add the white wine, tomato puree and evaporate.
- Gradually add the hot stock, in small amounts, until fully absorbed, do not overcook the rice.
