This is really nice and so easy! This is the second time I have made this. This time I added a 400g of tuna instead of 185g and mushrooms because I didn't have enough zucchini and chilli sauce which made it extra tasty.

Really liked this recipe. I used 2 cups of rice and added about 1 more cup of stock to make 3 really good serves for my 3 hungry males and smaller portion for me. I also added some butter, about 50g at the end just to give it an extra added flavour boost and it also makes the rice just glisten. Very tasty and easy to bring together.

Very easy, added bacon with the onion and garlic, mushrooms with the tomatoes, no tuna (don't like) and cooked in cast iron pot. Left out salt because of bacon, and stock is salty. Love the oven baked risotto, so much easier than the stove top.

Yeah...It was really good and if you like it put about 1-4 (depending on how much you like) tablespoons of sweet chilly sauce...maks it even better

This was a really tasty baked risotto. I am not normally a fan of the "baked" version, preferring to stand at the stove and stir stir stir but with two kids under two and a half, i found this a brilliant mid-week meal. Healthy and very tasty. Yum.
