Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
3/4 cup Arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine, (optional)
2 to 2 1/4 cups hot water
1/2 cup homemade or low sodium canned chicken stock
3/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat the grains with oil, about 1 minute.
  • Stir in the wine and cook until it has completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, the stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven, and bake, until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup water (the consistency of the risotto should be creamy), the butter, cheese, and parsley. Serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S BAKED MUSHROOM RISOTTO



Chef John's Baked Mushroom Risotto image

The beginning and the end of this risotto recipe are pretty standard, but we've moved the middle 15 minutes into the oven in an attempt to eliminate those dreaded 'variables.' Besides being easier and more repeatable, this method produced a risotto that was identical in looks, taste, and texture to anything I can do on the stove.

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Rice     Risotto Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 tablespoons butter

1 cup carnaroli rice
2 cups chicken broth, divided
½ cup heavy whipping cream

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  • Combine the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and cream; pour into the skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until rice is tender, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
  • Drizzle 2 tablespoons cream over rice. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and chives; stir. Serve immediately.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 lb. mixed wild, shiitake, and/or crimini mushrooms, broken into pieces or sliced 1/4" thick (about 4 cups)
3 garlic cloves, peeled, thinly sliced
6 thyme sprigs
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 3/4 tsp. (or more) kosher salt, divided
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1 cup arborio rice
1/2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry vermouth or white wine
3 cups homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth, divided
2 oz. finely grated Parmesan (about 1 cup)
2 Tbsp. cold unsalted butter, cut into pieces
1/2 tsp. finely grated lemon zest
1/3 cup coarsely chopped parsley leaves
Lemon wedges (for serving)

Steps:

  • Place racks in bottom third and middle of oven; preheat to 350°F. Toss mushrooms, garlic, thyme, red pepper flakes, 1/4 cup oil, and 1/2 tsp. salt on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast on bottom rack, tossing halfway through, until deeply golden brown and crisped, 25-30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large ovenproof Dutch oven or heavy pot over medium-high. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until softened and slightly translucent, 3-5 minutes. Stir in rice; season with pepper and 1/2 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until some grains are translucent, about 2 minutes. Add vermouth, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until pan is almost dry, about 2 minutes. Add 2 1/2 cups stock. Bring to a simmer, then cover and bake in oven until liquid is mostly absorbed but rice is still slightly firm in the center, 16-18 minutes.
  • Return pot to stove and heat over medium. Add remaining 1/2 cup stock and cook, stirring constantly, until rice is tender but still has some bite and sauce is creamy, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan, butter, and lemon zest; season to taste with salt, if needed. Add a little bit of warm water, if needed, until risotto is thick but still pourable.
  • Transfer risotto to a platter. Top with crispy mushrooms and parsley. Drizzle with oil. Serve with lemon wedges alongside.

CREAMY OVEN-BAKED RISOTTO



Creamy Oven-Baked Risotto image

This is a delicious extra creamy rice, if you like a little heat then add in a pinch cayenne pepper --- I have made this using converted long grain rice instead of aborio, it turned out well but the Aborio is much better to use --- you may use fresh sauteed mushrooms in place of canned or use frozen peas instead of mushrooms --- do not add in any extra salt until the rice has finished cooking, and add in only if needed --- this recipe may be doubled :)

Categories     Rice

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
1 cup uncooked white arborio rice
1 (10 3/4 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 1/2 cups chicken stock (or use half of each) or 1 1/2 cups water (or use half of each)
1 cup milk
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese (more to mix in after cooking if desired)
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper (or to taste)
1 (10 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, well drained (can use 1/2-3/4 cup frozen peas in place of mushrooms)

Steps:

  • Set oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Prepare a medium oven-proof saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
  • In a large bowl combine the soup with chicken stock or water, milk, Parmesan cheese and black pepper until well combined; set aside.
  • In the saucepan melt butter over medium heat.
  • Add in onion and cook for about 4 minutes or until translucent.
  • Add in rice and stir for 2 minutes.
  • Add in the mushroom soup mixture and drained mushooms; stir with wooden spoon to combine.
  • Cover with a lid and place in the oven.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes.
  • Remove the lid and stir well then place back in the oven for 10 minutes.
  • Season with more Parmesan cheese is desired.
  • Let stand for about 5 minutes before serving (the mixture will thicken up more upon standing).

Tips:

  • To achieve a creamy and flavorful risotto, use high-quality ingredients. Opt for Arborio or Carnaroli rice, known for their ability to absorb and retain flavors. Ensure the broth is well-seasoned and use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for a rich taste.
  • Follow the risotto cooking technique carefully. Gradually add the broth to the rice, stirring continuously. This allows the rice to absorb the liquid and gradually release its starch, creating a creamy consistency. Be patient and do not rush the process.
  • Experiment with different ingredients to create variations of the classic risotto. Try adding vegetables like peas, mushrooms, or asparagus. For a protein boost, include cooked shrimp, chicken, or salmon. You can also add herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage for extra flavor.
  • Pay attention to the cooking time of the rice. The rice should be cooked al dente, with a slight bite to it. Overcooking can result in mushy risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately after cooking. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, grated Parmesan cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil for a finishing touch.
  • Conclusion:

    Creamy oven-baked risotto is a versatile and delicious dish that can be customized to suit your preferences. Whether you prefer a classic risotto with simple ingredients or a more elaborate version with various additions, this recipe provides a foolproof method to achieve a creamy and flavorful result. So gather your ingredients, set aside some time, and indulge in the culinary delight of oven-baked risotto.
