Description

From the Oregonian:  "While not technically a classic Italian risotto, this sure is easy. I found the process for this recipe in a book by Donna Hay, the wonderful cookbook writer from Australia. I make it with my homemade chicken stock, lots of freshly grated parmesan, and frozen peas. Risotto in the oven? You have to make this to believe it."

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
  • 5 cups Simmering chicken broth (divided)
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 3 tbsp Unsalted butter, diced
  • 2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1 cup frozen peas

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Place the rice and 4 cups of the chicken broth in a Dutch oven. Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente. Remove from the oven, add the remaining 1 cup chicken broth, the parmesan, wine, butter, salt and pepper and stir vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes, until the rice is thick and creamy. Add the peas and stir until heated through. Serve hot.

Notes

By far the easiest risotto I've made; plus it's probably the creamiest.
