Tip in the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine if using and cook for 2 mins until absorbed.

  Delicious! Needed longer in the oven as others suggested. Will be making again and again!

  Lovely. Like many others I found it needed 30 mins in the oven but was worth the extra wait. I might use a pack of thinly sliced chorizo next time instead of the bacon.

  Lovely dish! I swapped the tomatoes for leeks and added garlic, and it was delicious! One problem though was the chicken stock -I used the right amount of cubes to get 700ml of stock, but found it dominated the dish. Next time I'll make it a bit weaker - or try fresh stock. But I definitley will be making it again.

  mmmmm.. i'm going to attempt to make this tonight with just a slight variation and will leave a comment after on how it all goes!!!!..have always wanted to make a risotto and like previous comments,it's either too time consuming with the adding of the stock or its just the unknown.i'm quite interested to see how the oven method goes...fingers crossed. :)

  Loved it! Halved the quantities (though quartered the cheese) and added a handful of mushrooms and corn - plenty for the 2 of us.

  I use this over and over - but stir in boursin rather than parmesan, and often add mushrooms. Seriously easy recipe; far more relaxing to cook than traditional risotto. It's great!

  Well, I followed the recipe to the letter and it turned out absolutely disgusting - a watery, revolting mess. Shan't be using this site again for any recipes - don't have the time to re make any meal. Thought ths was quick and easy - what a disappointment. Will stick to my own recipes from now on. Thoroughly disappointed. Pauline (and goodbye to this site forever).
