Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Fry the bacon pieces in an ovenproof pan or casserole dish for 3-5 mins until golden and crisp. Stir in the onion and butter and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Tip in the rice and mix well until coated. Pour over the wine if using and cook for 2 mins until absorbed.

  • step 2

    Add the cherry tomatoes and the hot stock, then give the rice a quick stir. Cover with a tightly fitting lid and bake for 18 mins until just cooked. Stir through most of the parmesan and serve sprinkled with the remainder.

Yep, agree with others, needed a little longer and more liquid but overall dish was lovely

This is delicious especially, as people have said, if you cook it for 28 mins instead of 18 (make sure you have enough liquid). However.....probably not that great if you have high cholesterol in my opinion.

And there was me thinking it was a cooking site rather than a health site.

Delicious flavour but a little bit dry.

This was really delicious and creamy and super easy to make. As per the other comments the rice wasn't cooked and the liquid wasn't absorbed after 18 minutes in the over, but after an extra 10 minutes it was absolutely perfect.

question

Is it possible to make a vegetarian version of this? I struggle making risottos and like a simpler oven baked version but wondering what to add instead of bacon?

janehunter

Very easy to make a vegetarian version (and dairy free) Take out the bacon and put in broccoli florets, peas, asparagus, use vegan cheese (easy to get from any supermarket) instead of parmesan, dairy free spread (Flora Buttery) Any veggies you love, put in. Maybe add an extra stock cube and plenty…
