Recipe - Risotto

Why not just ask your friend?

There's a recipe for oven baked carbonara risotto in Delia's How to Cook book - maybe your friend adapted that?

Even if it isn't that recipe, oven baked risotto's really easy to make - you just start it off like a normal risotto, then add all the stock in one go, bring it to boiling point and put the lot in the oven. I find it takes about 25 mins to cook through, and it's much easier than standing stirring for all that time (but then I'm lazy!).

I've never done a spinach and ricotta one, but I guess you'd add the raw spinach and ricotta for the last ten minutes or so, so it has a chance to heat through.

i made one yesterday. mum has the recipe at her house and i wasn't able to get the recipe so i winged it. it turned out fine, but there was just slightly a bit too much stock which didn't all get soaked up by the rice.

just wondering is there a general rule of thumb of how much fluid rice will absorb when being cooked in an oven .because when i just simple boil it, i use more water than needed and then drain when cooked.

well it wasn't meant to be a risotto it was gonna be chicken fried rice. ( left over roast chicken, cooked up chopped bacon, mushrooms, peas, peppers, anything really you want. then boil rice and mix all together when cooked and give it ten mins in a frying pan. it gorgeous. but i didn't have the time monday to do all the diff stages of it.

so i rememebered a recipe my mum had for what to do with left over turkey after xmas. it is lush, rice , cooked turkey ( in this case chicken) chopped up bacon, peas, mushrooms , onions , peppers. stick it all in the stock pot, a qty of long grain rice and vegetable stock. but i couldn't rememeber how much stock needed to the rice. so it not really a true risotto. it kinda a throw it all together and wing it sort of meal without the recipe.but i wing alot of meals thats just me ha ha. grated cheese on the top and it's divine.

i will look at the delia recipes , thankyou.
