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.

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 :)

OVEN BAKED PARMESAN AND GARLIC RISOTTO



Oven Baked Parmesan and Garlic Risotto image

Classic risotto needs constant stirring but this baked version needs hardly any attention as it cooks gently in the oven. To jazz it up a bit: When you add the remaining butter and cheese, stir in some shredded roast chicken. Heat through for 1-2min. Fry 2oz cubed pancetta or smoked streaky bacon with the onion and garlic. Stir in some fresh, chopped basil, thyme or baby spinach before serving.

SWEET OVEN-BAKED RISOTTO (VEGAN)



Sweet Oven-Baked Risotto (Vegan) image

This is a spin on my oven-baked risotto (Recipe #448053). This vegan version of rice pudding is easy to prepare and comes out thick and creamy just how I like it. If you prefer a thinner version, feel free to add more liquid. I think this a very versatile recipe and I plan to try it with different add-ins (e.g. nuts, fruit, chocolate, carob powder...). That said, I really like the plain version, too.

Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

200 g risotto rice (I used carnaroli)
2 tablespoons sugar (or more if you like a sweeter rice pudding)
375 ml vanilla-flavored rice milk, warmed (or soy or oat or almond)
125 ml apple juice (unsweetened)
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground vanilla bean
carob powder, chocolate chips, fresh fruit etc

Steps:

  • In an oven-proof, greased (or non-stick) casserole dish combine rice and sugar. Pour over applejuice. Dissolve spices in warm milk and pour this over the rice, too.
  • Cover pan with aluminium foil and bake in the pre-heated oven at 180°C/350°F for 25 minutes.
  • After the rice has baked for 25 minutes, remove from the oven, uncover and add add-ins of choice. Bake (uncovered) for another 10 minutes.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven to evenly distribute heat and prevent the risotto from sticking.
  • Toast the rice in a little butter or olive oil before adding the liquid. This will help to develop its flavor and prevent it from becoming mushy.
  • Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help to prevent the risotto from becoming too thick or soupy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook it, or it will become mushy.
  • Stir in your favorite ingredients, such as vegetables, cheese, or meat, at the end of the cooking time.
  • Let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help it to thicken and become even more creamy.

Conclusion:

Oven-baked risotto is a delicious and easy way to make this classic Italian dish. By following the tips above, you can create a perfect risotto that is sure to impress your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a special meal, give oven-baked risotto a try!
