This risotto dish is perfect on a cold winter's day. I love the flavor of rabbit, however, you can substitute chicken if you like.

Stir in the rice unntil well coated with butter, heated through and beginning to smell toasted. Mix the tomato puree with the wine and pour it innto the rice. Bring to a boil and reduce by half.
Begin adding the stock, a large ladelful at a time, stirring gently until each ladle has almost been absorbed by the rice. The risotto should be kept at a bare simmer throughout the cooking process.

Taste and season well with salt and pepper and stir in the remaining butter, the Parmigiano and the olives. Cover and let rest for a couple of minutes so the risootto can relax, Serve decoratively topped with rosemary sprigs.
