October 27, 2008: Baked Zucchini In Addition To 'Bacon' Risotto

Patricia at Technicolor Kitchen. The regard of a baked risotto suits my lazy cooking way perfectly - all the non-stop stirring required for a criterion risotto agency I can't wander aimlessly roughly the loungeroom piece dinner's on (or that I can, only dinner ends upward ruined). This is much easier: mix everything inwards a baking dish, bake, stir in addition to serve.

Now I'm no risotto purist, only this came out too every bit whatever stove-top stir-a-thon risotto that we've tried to brand earlier - the grain's stocky in addition to tender, the zucchini flavor spread deliciously throughout in addition to the salty mistaken bacon strips adding a flake of texture on top. The whole dish was perchance a footling on the salty side, only that's in all probability downwards to our lazy powdered stock every bit much every bit anything else. For an slow in addition to delicious pile of comfort food, this is a weeknight winner.

Baked zucchini in addition to bacon risotto
(a vegged upward version of Technicolor Kitchen's recipe)

2 cups arborio rice
5 cups vegie stock
60g butter
500g zucchini, chopped into footling half-moons
3/4 loving cup grated parmesan
1-2 tablespoons chopped parsley
salt in addition to pepper
145g soy bacon rashers

Preheat the oven to roughly 200 degrees.

Mix together the rice, stock, butter in addition to zucchini inwards a baking dish, embrace in addition to bake for roughly one-half an hour. The risotto mix comes out of the oven quite liquidy, only thickens upward pretty apace in ane lawsuit the cheese is stirred inwards in addition to it starts to cool a tiny bit.

Add the parmesan, salt, pepper in addition to parsley in addition to stir for a few minutes until everything starts to thicken up.

While the risotto is cooking tike upward some thinly sliced strips of mistaken bacon to drapery artistically across the clumps of risotto yous dish up.
