basic baked risotto
- 1½ cup arborio (or risotto) rice
- 4½ cups chicken stock
- 1 cup finely grated parmesan
- 40g unsalted butter
- sea salt and cracked black pepper
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (355°F). Place the rice and stock in a 22 x 30cm (8½ x 12 in) 10-cup (80 fl oz) capacity baking dish and stir to combine. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 40 minutes or until most of the stock is absorbed and the rice is al dente.
- Stir through the parmesan, butter, salt and pepper and serve immediately. Serves 4.

My kids love this, we use it as the base for a ‘pick and mix’ dinner : great to use up stuff in the fridge. Bacon, smoked salmon, frozen peas, you name it, put them on the side and the kids pick what to add to their plate of risotto. Fun family meal.

Tried this on the weekend. Did have to cook longer. A terrific no fuss, one pot, tasty meal for a lazy day.
