Hi Manjula,
I wanted to tell you a trick I have discovered that works well in tomato sauces.
In Italy we use a trio of vegetables to flavor broths and to enhance the flavor of tomato sauces, the soffritto (or mirepoix in French), which is made with equal parts of onion (sometimes with a little garlic), celery and carrots diced small and sauteed in olive oil (sometimes oil and butter). Yesterday I discovered that you can replace the onion with diced fennel bulb (the white part). It comes out well, and actually I don’t like the taste of fennel bulb alone very much. The result is a very aromatic, versatile and digestible tomato sauce. I will try replacing onion with fennel bulb for vegetable broth too and then if it works in risotto.
