Many of you have tried and tested my oven baked paella method with great success. Here is a beautifully simple baked risotto which is budget friendly and something both of my boys love. It’s really classic and straight forward and a lovely base for many a recipe. I mentioned a few days ago about going for it with sautéed onions and garlic, well this is really key here as it adds amazing flavour to something so simple. You could add burrata, prawns, cooked chicken, grilled halloumi or tofu. You can also add more veg, such as fresh spinach, peas, tenderstem or asparagus.
