    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.

    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

    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.
