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.
EASY PARMESAN "RISOTTO"
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Place the rice and 4 cups of the chicken stock in a Dutch oven, such as Le Creuset. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente. Remove from the oven, add the remaining cup of chicken stock, the Parmesan, wine, butter, salt, and pepper, and stir vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is thick and creamy. Add the peas and stir until heated through. Serve hot.

EASY BAKED RISOTTO
This recipe originally came from Donna Hay magazine, but it was such a fantastic recipe that I have used it as a base for so many other baked risottos. This is my favorite. Its a great way to get veggies into kids without them really tasting them. You can add all of these veggies, some of them, or completely different ones. Its is totally flexible. And once you have cooked your chicken you can put it in the oven and forget about it. No more standing at the stove stirring for half an hour!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Heat fry pan over medium heat. Add small amount olive oil (enough to seal chicken breast and lightly cook veggies - not too much). You can add a small amount of butter to fry pan at this time but as you need to add it later, I prefer not to.
- Saute onions until translucent then add garlic. Add sliced chicken and brown lightly ( you can season the chicken here with whatever you would normally use to season - I actually use steak spice, which has a nice flavour). Then add your veggies (but no peas or English spinach at this stage). Remember you are not actually cooking the veggies at this point, you are just allowing them to soak up the flavour of the other ingredients.
- In a baking dish with lid (pre-greased), add 41/2 cups chicken stock, 11/2 cups arborio rice, and the content of your pan.
- Put it in the oven for 40 minutes and do something else for a while. Do not stir.
- After the 40 minutes are up, stir risotto and add parmesan cheese, butter (or olive oil - it still tastes just as nice), any peas or spinach, season & stir.
- Enjoy.
- This is also a really nice side dish if you omit the chicken, then you'll get 6-8 serves out of it.

OVEN-BAKED RISOTTO (SO EASY)
This wonderful and very convenient way of making a creamy risotto comes from German chef Tim Mälzer. He says: "While the risotto is baking in the oven, youll have enough time to prepare a yummy dessert." I hope youll enjoy this as much as we did! :) Note: The original uses mushrooms, but I used a mix of carrots and pak choi instead. Feel free to use veggies of choice adjusting sautee time as needed.

Steps:
- Before you get started, take a look at our weighing and measuring skills guide. Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Melt the butter in a large ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat and fry the onion for 3-4 mins until starting to soften. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, stirring the whole time. Tip in the rice and mix well to coat in the buttery onion mixture.
- If you're using a stock cube, boil the kettle. Crumble the stock cube into a jug and carefully measure in 700ml hot water from the kettle, stirring to dissolve the cube. If using fresh stock, warm this in a pan over a low heat until steaming.
- Add the cherry tomatoes and hot stock to the rice, season with salt and pepper and stir to combine.
- Cover with a tightly fitting lid and bake for 20 mins. Carefully remove from the oven using oven gloves and stir - the rice should be just cooked, with a little bite. The risotto may still look quite runny at this stage.
- Stir through most of the cheese, replace the lid and leave to stand for 3-4 mins. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese and the basil to serve.

Tips:
- For a creamy risotto, use Arborio or Carnaroli rice. These rices have a high starch content that helps create a creamy sauce.
- Toast the rice in a little butter or oil before adding the liquid. This will help develop the flavor of the rice and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice absorb the liquid evenly and prevent it from clumping.
- Cook the risotto over medium heat. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from burning.
- Stir the risotto frequently. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from sticking to the pot.
- Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in some butter, cheese, and herbs. This will add flavor and richness to the risotto.
- Serve the risotto immediately. It is best enjoyed when it is hot and creamy.
Conclusion:
Risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can be made with a variety of different ingredients. With a little practice, you can easily make a delicious risotto at home. So what are you waiting for? Give it a try today!
