Classic Baked Risotto

Baked? Traditionally the preparation of Risotto requires approximately a half-hour of constant stirring over a hot stove. With this easy version, the stirring is replaced with 30 minutes of baking, allowing time to prepare the rest of your meal or to simply sit and relax before dinner.

Makes 4 to 6 servings.


Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp (25 mL) butter
  • 4 cups (1 L) assorted wild mushrooms [shiitake, porcini, oyster, chantrelle], chopped
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each: salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) finely chopped onions
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) minced garlic
  • 1-1/2 cups (375 mL) U.S. short grain rice

  • 1/3 cup (75 ml) coarsely chopped fresh parsley
  • Garnish: shaved Parmesan

Directions

  1. In heavy ovenproof saucepan, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, salt, pepper, onions and garlic, cook until mushrooms are golden and onions are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in rice until well coated. Add wine and stock; bring to boil.
  2. Transfer pan to 350°F [180°C] oven, stirring occasionally, until liquid has been absorbed and rice is tender but firm in the centre, about 30 minutes.
