Easy Baked Risotto

This basic recipe serves as a perfect blank canvas for whatever you want to pair with it. This risotto is creamy and subtle on its own or dress up with caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or peas.

  • 5 cups chicken stock (divided and heated)
  • 4 tablespoons butter (divided)
  • 1 small onion (chopped)
  • 3 cloves garlic (finely minced)
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice
  • Chicken stock
  • Parmesan cheese
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • Fresh Parsley (chopped)
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. In a small saucepan, heat chicken stock over medium heat.
  3. In a Dutch oven (or other oven-proof pan with a fitted lid), melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add chopped onion and sauté until translucent over medium heat, 5 – 10 minutes. Add garlic and white wine. Cook for 2 minutes to soften the raw wine taste.
  4. Add rice and stir with wooden spoon until coated with liquid from pan. Add 4 cups of chicken stock and cover with a tight fitting lid. Pop in oven and check after 30 minutes. If a lot of liquid remains, continue cooking in 5 minute increments until excess liquid has been absorbed.
  5. Remove from oven and stir in remaining cup of stock, Parmesan cheese, and butter. Stir vigorously until a creamy consistency is achieved. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Gently stir fresh parsley in for added flavor and color.
  6. Pairs beautifully with oven-roasted asparagus drizzled in good extra virgin olive oil and roasted chicken or beef.
