This simple oven-baked risotto requires no adding liquid or stirring. Instead, it cooks quietly and gently in the oven for 30 minutes and can then be finished with Parmesan and creamy ricotta. If desired, the finished risotto can also be served with fresh tomatoes, spinach, and sautéed shrimp.

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel and finely dice the shallot and garlic. Cut the sun-dried tomatoes into thin strips, measure out the rice and wine, and prepare the vegetable stock.

Pour olive oil into the pot and sauté the diced onion and garlic with a little salt until translucent. Add the sugar, tomato paste, and sun-dried tomatoes and sauté for another minute.

Add the rice to the pot and sauté for 30 to 60 seconds, stirring constantly, until translucent. Deglaze with white wine. Allow the alcohol to evaporate (this takes about one to two minutes, or until the smell of alcohol disappears), then pour in all the broth.

Stir the risotto well and place it in the preheated oven with the lid closed for 25 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare optional ingredients: Wash and halve the tomatoes, wash the spinach. About five minutes before the end of the cooking time, sauté the shrimp in olive oil in a pan for three to four minutes.

Remove the risotto from the oven and stir in the Parmesan and ricotta. Mix in optional ingredients (tomatoes, spinach, shrimp) and season the risotto with salt and pepper.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Rice Selection Magic 🍚
Use high-quality Arborio rice with a high starch content to ensure a creamy, luxurious risotto texture without constant stirring.
Liquid Ratio Precision 🥄
Use a 1:3 rice to liquid ratio and cover the baking dish tightly with foil to prevent moisture loss during the oven-baking process.
Wine Flavor Boost 🍷
Choose a crisp, dry white wine like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc to add depth and acidity to the risotto without overpowering other flavors.
Seafood Timing Trick 🦐
Add prawns during the last 5-7 minutes of cooking to prevent overcooking and maintain their tender, delicate texture.
Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
Fold in Parmesan and ricotta off the heat to create a silky, creamy finish that prevents the cheese from becoming grainy or separated.
