1. Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Heat the oil in an ovenproof pan, then fry the onion for a few mins until softened. Turn up the heat, tip in the rice, stir, then fry for 1 min more. Pour in the wine, if using, stirring until absorbed, then pour in the tomatoes, peppers and 400ml of the stock. Cover and bake in the oven for 25 mins until the rice is tender and creamy.
2. Stir in the remaining stock and parsley, season and scatter with Parmesan, if you like.

Use up leftovers - Red risotto cakes with bacon

Chill risotto overnight, then shape handfuls into burger shapes. Dip into seasoned flour, then beaten egg, and finally breadcrumbs to coat. Fry in a little oil in a non-stick frying pan for 4 mins each side, then serve with crispy bacon and salad.

  Having read some of the earlier suggestions, I added a couple of cloves of garlic with the onion and a slug of good balsamic vinegar with the tomatoes which adds a wonderful sweet richness and meant no sugar was required. Also added some dried oregano before putting in the oven. Finished with parmesan as suggested. A delicious midweek supper, and unlike some of the earlier posters did not have a problem with the oven timings.

  Fantastic recipe, my family really enjoyed it and it has become a regualr weekly meal !! Does taste better with the wine and also with fresh red peppers but handy to be able to use frozen ones as well.

  I pretty much took on board most of the suggestions - added some cherry toms, a spoonful of sugar, some dried chilli fakes and a little extra liquid. But still didn't enjoy it. It may just be a personal taste thing, but I won't be making it again.

  really delicious! I added green olives and salami! added lots of nice flavors! love risotto but haven't ever done it in the oven before - so much easier but just as yummy with a good creamy texture! Allow for more time tho - it took a little longer than 5mins prep! and it took about 40 mins in the oven! dead easy tho

  I have made this a few times - but always with fresh home roasted red peppers (2 for a 2 people serving). It is best is with added chorizo... and I also add more herbs, usually some thyme and a little rosemary (as they are always available from the garden). I agree that the parmesan is essential!

  I had some oven roasted peppers , courgettes and garlic to hand and have to agree with some of the other comments, it was too bland and needed something to bring out the flavours. Mine took a lot longer to cook in the oven as well

  This is a nice, quick, cheap mid-week meal, but can be a little bland

  Tasted before serving and found a bit bland so stirred in some finely chopped salami - much better.

  I've made this twice now, the first time just as the recipe stated above which was nice, but the second time I added 100g chopped chorizo and 1 tsp of chilli powder to the onions and a tsp of sugar to the tomatoes and stock. I didn't have a problem with it cooking in the oven at all, everyone's ovens do vary though. For some reason my computer won't let me rate the recipe so I'll say 4 stars now!!

  This is a great easy risotto and I cook it regularly. I don't use roasted peppers, I just chop up fresh and it works brilliantly. It can be a bit bland though without the parmesan so I usually add some smoked sausage and creme fraiche to give it a boost. It also makes a brilliant Monday night supper to use up roast chicken from Sunday and any veg or mushrooms that need using up. Just chuck it in with the tomatoes and you've got a brilliant hearty risotto.

  The flavours are really nice in this, we made it as a normal risotto on the hop but the tamoto and red perpper flavours worked really well

  I made this for my family the other day and they all really enjoyed it. I used fresh peppers and roasted them under the grill a little and then cut them up into chunks instead of using frozen. Went really well with Green beans with griddled tomatos.
