An easy risotto recipe baked in the oven. The ultimate comfort food this Winter!
I've been making Baked Risotto for years now. Once you try it there really is no going back.
Rather than standing over the stove adding ladels of stock to the rice, you can bung it all in the oven instead. So much easier!
It all started with this Baked Cheese & Tomato Risotto Recipe and I've been making different variations ever since.
This is my mushroom version. For full disclosure my kids did not like it. They hate mushrooms!
But I thought there might be some mushrooms loving families out there who will enjoy it.
Start by adding chopped mushrooms and cherry tomatoes to a baking dish with oil, onion and garlic.
Bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
Add risotto rice and hot vegetable stock. It's really important that the stock is hot.
If not it will take a lot longer to cook as the stock will need to come to boiling point.
That all gets cooked for another 25-30 minutes.
The final step is to add some grated cheddar cheese and stir well.
And that's it.
A delicious family meal with none of the faff of a typical risotto recipe!
