Oven-Baked Vegetable Risotto

with a Crispy Panko & Cheese Topping

Typically, this tasty, classic Italian dish involves a lot of stirring and waiting around the stove top. But our oven-baked vegetable risotto requires minimal stirring and practically cooks itself (it’s all in the name). Enjoy a delicious mix of vegetables, fresh herbs, a lemony freshness, a crunchy panko and cheese topping and some granary bread to finish it off. Instead of stirring a pot, sit back with a glass of wine and wait for this delicious dish to cook.

Instructions

Chop your pepper
1

Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees. Peel and finely chop the garlic and onion. Remove the core from the pepper and chop into ½cm cubes. Roughly chop the mushrooms into 2cm pieces and chop your tomatoes into eighths. Grate 1 tsp of lemon zest and remove the thyme leaves from their stems. Roughly chop the chives. Tip: Try not to zest the white pith off the lemon - it’s really bitter!

2

Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a non-stick ovenproof saucepan over a medium-high heat. Add the garlic and onion. Gently fry for 3 mins or until softened then add the yellow pepper and mushrooms, add ¼ tsp of salt and a grind of pepper and gently fry for a further 3-4 mins. Tip: Add a splash of white wine (if you have it) to add another depth of flavour!

3

Whilst the pepper and mushrooms are cooking, boil 650ml of water with the stock pot and stir to dissolve.

Add the rice to the pan
4

Add the tomatoes, the lemon zest, three quarters of your thyme leaves and the rice into the oven-proof saucepan with the onion mixture. Squeeze in 1 tbsp of lemon juice, pour in the stock and stir everything together. Turn up the heat and bring to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover with a lid and transfer it to the middle shelf of your oven. Bake for 20 mins. Tip: If you are not using an ovenproof saucepan/pot, transfer the risotto into an ovenproof dish with a lid and then place it into the oven.

Mix the breadcrumbs, cheese and thyme
5

Add the rest of the thyme to your hard Italian cheese along with your breadcrumbs, a pinch of salt and a good grind of pepper, toss together (using your hands).

Put your crust on your risotto
6

After 20 mins, remove the risotto from the oven and take off the lid. Tip: Careful it’s hot! Give the risotto a good stir. Add three quarters of the chives and stir through. Place it back into the oven for a further 5 mins without its lid, then remove again. Sprinkle over the breadcrumb mixture and place it back into the oven without its lid for another 3-5 mins, or until the breadcrumbs and cheese are lightly brown in colour. You can also add the granary rolls to the oven for this time to warm up.

7

Serve in bowls and garnish with the remaining chives. Use a granary bread to mop up every last bit. Enjoy!
