Recipe video above. This risotto recipe is made using an entirely hands-off oven method that makes risotto possible even on the busiest nights! Ultra creamy, no stirring and you don't even need to sauté onion and garlic - they "saute" in the oven because they floats on the surface with the butter. Surely the most easy risotto in the world!Fragrant with lemon and herbs, it's good enough to eat on its own but makes a wonderful accompaniment to meats, fish, seafood and mains as a side that's also a semi-sauce, such as in Monday's Crispy Skin Salmon.
