    So easy. Added peas but they went a bit grey so may add them later next time. Definitely takes longer to cook than the recipes states. Served with a rocket salad and enough leftover to freeze for another day.

    It's a shame there aren't more stars for rating this recipe. I've been making it since it was first published & my husband & I love it. I don't change a thing other than halving the quantities.

    Excellent, so easy and no extravagant ingredients, all really enjoyed, will definitely make again, but only just fed 3 of us and I used wholemeal rice which did take a bit longer to cook, nearer 40 minutes.

    What dishes did people use to make this - I only have a pyrex dish (which dont have particularly tight fitting lids) - Will this still work? Thanks

    This was soooo yummy!!!!!! I did change it slightly, as I have an inability to not add garlic to all food. Also I added chicken. The only thing was, it did taken long then stated but that may be down to my pants electric oven :-( Next time I may swap the bacon for chorizo.

    Added some chorizo and a leek as suggested in an earlier comment. It was fantastic - It served 4 adults as a starter with some to spare. I love risotto and was dubious as to whether it would work in the oven - I'm never standing over the hob again!

    I made this with leftover roast chicken, pancetta slices, porcini mushrooms and peas. It really was delicious and I used part veg stock/part mushroom stock from rehydrating the porcini.

    Quite literally the best risotto I have ever eaten, a bit of parmesan and black pepper on top and finish the white wine! A winner!

    I've tried risotto a couple of times in restaurants and couldn't understand the fuss people make about them. I remember not finishing either dish. Because this sounded and looked nice, as well as all the good reviews, I made it this evening. Right now there's a completely empty bowl in front of me. Very easy and very tasty. Made it as the recipe other than used shallots and cooked for a bit longer than 18 mins. Mmmmmm Mmmm!

    great recipe. swapped bacon for chorizo ring, swapped cherry tomatoes for a small box of pomodorino tomatoes, added half a leek, 250g birdseye peas and a chopped fresh chilli for heat undertones which compliments the chorizo and leek. 2 veg stockpots and 700ml water instead of the hot chicken stock brought to simmer before going to the oven. added the parmesan and stirred then into the oven and then parmesan mixed-in again after! i used a large glass worth of reasonable australian wine. 20 minutes at 190 in the preheated fan oven was perfect. serves six as a main like this. bang tidy.

    This is a nice rice dish but it is NOT risotto! If you bake the rice, you completely miss out the tastiest element of risotto. Risottos are stirred while the stock is being absorbed. This is to break down the outside of the rice. When you do that, you should get a thick, creamy liquour and rich glutinous taste. You do not get this if you put it in the oven to bake. It wasn't a bad dish but it certainly didn't perform the miracle I was expecting of a 'no stir risotto'.

    Lovely recipe and very easy to make. If I was feeding four adults with it I would make sure there was plenty of bread and salad available too!
