One Pot Risotto
Recipe by Graham
One Pot Risotto is a simple store cupboard risotto that cooks in the oven while you get on with something else - the result is still wonderfully creamy and your family will think you've been slaving over a hot stove for hours!

How to Cook One Pot Risotto
- Chop the bacon into small pieces and peel and chop the onion. Fry the bacon pieces in an ovenproof pan or casserole dish over a high heat for 4-5 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Reduce the heat and stir in the onion and butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the onion is soft then season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Add the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine (optional) and cook for 2 minutes until it has been absorbed by the rice.
- Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and add them to the pan. Stir in the hot stock and give the rice a quick stir. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and cook in a preheated moderately hot oven (Mk 6 - 400ºF - 200ºC) for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked (allow a few minutes longer if necessary). Stir in most of the Parmesan and serve sprinkled with the remainder.
GRAHAM'S HOT TIP:
You can vary this recipe by using chorizo instead of bacon. Also, you can increase the ingredients by half to make it for 6 people but it will take about 40 minutes in the oven to cook.

 March 28 2015It is so easy and delicious. I've made this quite a few times now and I do not use the wine I just replace it with additional chicken stock. I've also added sauteed shrimp to it after it comes out of the oven. Sometimes I add a medley of sauteed seafood to it (shrimp, scallops, and calamari). It makes a great main entree. You MUST use Parmesan reggiano though.... Makes all the difference to this dish wefar (3 reviews) |
