There are many ways to prepare rice. Personally, I prefer creamy or soupy rice dishes, there is nothing written about tastes! Rices like the one we prepare today with a very Mediterranean essence. Hence, he has baptized it with that name: Mediterranean risotto.
The most characteristic of this risotto is not so much the ingredients as its state. Recently in a market I got hold of numerous dehydrated products. They are ideal as a snack but you can also incorporate them into hot dishes like this one. I have done so and the result has not disappointed me.

- Then, we add the rice, the zucchini, the olives, the concentrated tomato and fry the whole for a couple of more minutes.
- We pour in a splash of white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
- Next, we add a saucepan of hot water and stir until the rice has absorbed the water.
