New Year's Garlic and Tomato Risotto

For New Year's Eve, The Swedish Vegetarian went to his motherland to celebrate the ending of 2011 together with friends and family at a party organised by two lovely girls, who had together created the most amazing three course meal, consisting of 'Västerbotten Cheese Pie'; 'Garlic and Tomato Risotto', and 'Chocolate Mousse with Fresh Berries'. Yesterday, the International Menu received the recipe for one of these dishes, and having The Swedish Vegetarian testifying that it is a very palatable meal, we are publishing it here on our blog. So, without further ado, let me introduce to you:
