EASY MUSHROOM RISOTTO {OVEN-BAKED AND NO-STIR!}
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400° F. In a large Dutch oven or an oven-proof skillet with a tight-fitting lid, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until just tender, about 3-5 minutes.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the sliced mushrooms. Cook, stirring, until they begin to sweat, about 3 minutes, then add garlic and thyme. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the rice and cook, stirring, until the rice is well coated in the pan juices, about 1-2 minutes. Add the wine and broth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover with the lid and transfer the dish to the oven. Bake until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 45 minutes.
- Remove dish from oven, carefully take off the lid, and stir in the peas (if using), Parmesan, and parsley until creamy. I like to use a fork to fluff the rice as I stir, which helps prevent it from clumping together. Serve immediately.

CHEF JOHN'S BAKED MUSHROOM RISOTTO
The beginning and the end of this risotto recipe are pretty standard, but we've moved the middle 15 minutes into the oven in an attempt to eliminate those dreaded 'variables.' Besides being easier and more repeatable, this method produced a risotto that was identical in looks, taste, and texture to anything I can do on the stove.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Melt butter in large, oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms; season with salt, and cook and stir mushrooms until brown. They will begin browning after the moisture evaporates.
- Reduce heat to medium and stir in onion. Sprinkle with black pepper and cayenne pepper. Cook and stir until onions are translucent and soft.
- Pour rice into skillet and stir until each rice grain is coated with butter. Season with salt.
- Pour 1 cup chicken broth into the rice mixture. Raise heat to medium-high and cook, stirring rice until liquid is completely absorbed by the rice.
- Pour another cup chicken stock into the rice and stir until mixture comes to a simmer.
- Bake in preheated oven until grains are almost tender but still slightly firm, about 15 minutes. Transfer skillet to stovetop. Season with more salt, if necessary.
- Combine the remaining 1/2 cup chicken broth and cream; pour into the skillet. Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly until rice is tender, 1 or 2 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
- Drizzle 2 tablespoons cream over rice. Add the grated Parmigiano-Reggiano and chives; stir. Serve immediately.

OVEN-BAKED RISOTTO
Unlike stove-top risottos, this oven-baked version requires hardly any stirring. Grate some additional Parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top of the individual portions.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. In an ovenproof saucepan or Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring to coat the grains with oil, about 1 minute.
- Stir in the wine and cook until it has completely evaporated, about 1 minute. Stir in 1 1/2 cups water, the stock, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil. Cover, transfer to the oven, and bake, until most of the liquid has been absorbed by the rice, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven. Stir in 1/2 to 3/4 cup water (the consistency of the risotto should be creamy), the butter, cheese, and parsley. Serve immediately.
Tips:
- For the creamiest risotto, use short-grain rice such as Arborio or Carnaroli.
- Toast the rice in olive oil or butter before adding the liquid. This will help the rice absorb the liquid and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from clumping.
- Season the risotto with salt, pepper, and other herbs or spices to taste.
- For a richer flavor, add a splash of white wine or dry vermouth to the risotto.
- To make the roasted mushrooms, toss them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and then roast them in a hot oven until they are crispy.
- Serve the risotto immediately, topped with the crispy roasted mushrooms.
