2 cups arborio rice
3 cups chicken stock or 3 cups vegetable stock
1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup capers, drained
12 cherry tomatoes or 12 grape tomatoes
1/4 cup flat leaf parsley, finely chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, shredded
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil

1
Rinse the rice well in cool water.

Drain well and set aside.
3
Bring the stock to a gentle boil in a medium-size saucepan, then reduce to a simmer.
4
Heat the 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, heavy pot over medium-high heat.
5
Add the onions and cook, stirring, until just soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
6
Add the rice and cook, stirring constantly, until the grains are opaque, about 4 minutes.

Stir gently until the liquid comes to a boil. Cover tightly, reduce the heat to low, and cook until all the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for about 15 minutes before stirring.

Transfer the rice to a large bowl and gently stir to cool, breaking up any lumps with a wooden spoon.
