Instructions:

• In a small saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. If using onion and garlic, sauté them until softened, about 2-3 minutes.

• Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the grains with oil. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring frequently.

• Pour in the beef or vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan. Let it cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and creamy, stirring occasionally.

• Stir in the minced cooked beef and pureed tomatoes, and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until heated through.

• If desired, add grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor and richness.

• Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir in fresh herbs if using.

• Let the risotto cool slightly before serving to your baby. Make sure it's not too hot and always check the temperature before feeding.
