Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup arborio rice
• 0.5 cup dry white wine
• 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

In an oven-safe, heavy-based pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted.

Step 3

Add the chopped onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onion is soft and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Stir in the arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to toast the rice slightly.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and stir. Cook for 2-3 minutes until most of the wine has evaporated.

Step 6

Add the chicken or vegetable stock, salt, and pepper. Stir everything together to combine.

Step 7

Cover the pot with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer it to the preheated oven.

Step 8

Bake the risotto for 25 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even cooking.

Step 9

Remove the pot from the oven and add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese has melted and the risotto is creamy. If the risotto is too thick, add a splash of warm stock or water to reach your desired consistency.

Step 10

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 11

Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot. Enjoy your easy baked risotto!
