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.Back after a very long break!0 -

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.0 -

I've never done risotto in the oven - it's a dish I like to make on the hob as soon as I'm in from work, and it's just as easy to do on top
Delia's recipe is here, so she'll give you quantities.
As this has fallen from the front page of OS, I'll add it to the existing thread to give you more ideas.:rudolf: Sheep, pigs, hens and bees on our Teesdale smallholding :rudolf:0 -
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.0 -
