A delicious risotto cooked in the oven for ease and flavoured with feta, chorizo and fresh spinach. Perfect for a fuss free family meal.

Risotto presented in a medium sized white bowl, with Spinach on to one side.

I’ve been making risotto in the oven for years now. I know it’s not the traditional way to cook risotto but for busy families it is sometimes just a bit easier to whack it all in the oven rather than standing over a stove stirring.

This version comes from the baked feta pasta trend last year that everyone was making.

It’s starts with oil, cherry tomatoes, chorizo and garlic in a large oven dish. Then adding a whole block of feta to the middle along with some seasoning.

This is the seasoning I used but any type of Italian seasoning or just dried oregano will work just fine too.

That gets baked for 15 minutes. The tomatoes get soft and sweet and the feta cheese will soften.

Then add risotto rice and hot vegetable stock and return to the oven for another 30 minutes until the rice has cooked.

It’s really important that the stock is hot, otherwise it will take longer to cook to bring the stock up to temperature.

After 30 minutes, remove from the oven and stir in some fresh spinach. The heat from the risotto will wilt the spinach as you mix it in.

If your children don’t like spinach then you leave it out of their portion and just stir it into yours. You could also add frozen peas too if they prefer. Add them for the last 15 minutes of cooking.

After 30 minutes, remove from the oven and stir in some fresh spinach. The heat from the risotto will wilt the spinach as you mix it in, all presented in white oven proof dish. with Spinach on top.

And that’s it. The most delicious but easiest risotto you will ever make!

Serve up with salad or cooked veggies and enjoy!
