Seafood risotto with peppers

Ingredients:
250 g cut up monk fish 
25 g margarine
1/2 chopped onion
1 chopped red pepper without internal seeds
250 g tomato pulp
200 g shelled prawns
2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil
160 g rice (arborio type in Italy)
300 ml fish stock (with fish scraps)
1 tablespoon  chopped parsley 
1 tablespoon chopped basil

Preparation:
I cut the monk fish up and I melt the margarine in a pan with chopped onion and I sweat them.
Then I add tomatoes pulp and pepper and I let them cook for five minutes over a low flame , mixing sometimes.
Last fish and prawns for other 3 minutes.
With a perforated spoon I take away the fish and the prawns from the sauce and I put them aside.
I pour the rice in the sauce and I mix it well, adding salt and a ladle of stock. 
I let it cook for 20 minutes, adding a ladle of stock at a time as long as the stock is absorbed and the rice is soft. 
I serve it with some chopped parsley and basil on.
It is an unusual very tasty and coloured seafood risotto. Impressive for sure!
