Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring water to boil in heavy large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add rice and cook until tender but still firm to bite, stirring frequently, about 12 minutes. Drain. (Rice can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.)

    Step 2

    Heat oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Add radicchio and sauté until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Stir in tomatoes and their juice and simmer until liquid is slightly reduced, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Add cream and stock and simmer 5 minutes. Stir in rice. Reduce heat and simmer until liquid is absorbed, stirring frequently, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to dish. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.
