Oven baked mushroom risotto

Serves: 6
Prep: 10
Cook: 30

    Oven baked risotto is an excellent weeknight meal. Quick and easy to prepare and no need to stir. Simply place in the oven and cook for 30 minutes.

    Mushrooms are a mighty little veggie (or technically a fungi) containing folate and selenium, plus other essential vitamins and minerals that help support the immune system. And, they can produce vitamin D, an important vitamin that helps absorb calcium from foods, just by placing them in the sun for around 15 minutes!

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups arborio rice
    • 5 cups boiling water
    • 2 x 10g chicken flavoured stock cube, crumbled
    • 3 tbs margarine
    • 3 cups mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 cups baby spinach leaves or chopped spinach leaves
    • ½ cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
    • 2 tbs chives, chopped (or another herb of your choice)

    Method

    1. Step 1

      Combine rice, water, stock cube, margarine and mushrooms into a large ovenproof dish. Cover dish tightly with lid.

    2. Step 2

      Bake in a hot oven, 200°C for 30 minutes or until rice is tender.

    3. Step 3

      Stir through spinach leaves, parmesan and chives.

    Tips
