    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).

    Yummy. This is a real lunchtime/cold weather comforting nosh. It doesn't have loads of flavours but you can add whatever you like to enhance. I added some chopped red peppers and peas. Also think it would be v delicious with some cooked shredded chicken.

    Gorgeous. I boiled the risotto before it went into the pot cos we like it really soft and also increased the oven time to 30mins.

    Great recipe. Love it that it is mainly store cupboard ingredients, so easy to make when you havent bought much in. Love this recipe and we have it regularly. I used need to cook it for 40 mins though until the stock is absorbed as put into cold casserole dish to go into oven.
