Baked risotto

[kimberkit]

Oh my gosh. Rebecca from Ezra Pound Cake just rocked my world with the idea that you can BAKE risotto. No constant stirring on the stovetop!. That makes risotto a weeknight dish, not a weekend one. I can just set it in the oven and go away to study!

I heard somewhere that the need for constant stirring is a myth. It's only actually needed during the last X minutes (5? 10?)

I've never made it, though.

You heard Trey say that the last time we had dinner -- that you only needed to stir every time you added broth, a bit at a time, and once at the end. That's *less* babysitting, but still babysitting once every ten minutes or so.

Haha, oh yeah...

That sounds like a really good recipe. I'll certainly have to try it out.

Wow! Let us know how it goes when you try it.
