Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided, plus more for baking dish
1 large leek (white and pale green parts only), finely chopped (about 3/4 cup) and washed well
1 large onion, finely chopped (about 1 2/3 cups)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 cups Arborio or Carnaroli rice
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
3 1/2 to 4 cups chicken broth, warmed, divided
1 1/4 ounces Parmesan cheese, finely grated (1/2 cup)
1/4 cup coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
3 tablespoons finely sliced fresh chives
1 tablespoon coarsely chopped fresh tarragon leaves
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon zest

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly butter a 2-quart oval baking dish. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium heat. Add leek, onion, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 10 minutes. (Do not let brown.)
  • Add rice and stir to thoroughly coat. Cook, stirring occasionally, until you hear the rice toasting (it sizzles and pops), about 2 minutes. Add wine and increase heat to medium-high. Simmer until pot is almost dry, about 3 minutes. Add 3 cups broth, bring to a simmer, and transfer to baking dish. Bake risotto 5 minutes and stir. Bake another 5 minutes and stir again, then bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is just tender, about 5 more minutes.
  • Remove risotto from oven and stir in remaining tablespoon butter, Parmesan, herbs, and lemon zest. Gradually add 1/2 cup warm broth, stirring, until rice is creamy. (For creamier rice, add more broth, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches desired consistency.) Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately. If risotto thickens upon sitting, add more broth to loosen as desired.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I'm not a very experienced cook, so I found it difficult to follow all the steps. The end result was good, but I don't think I'll be making this again anytime soon.

I'm not a huge fan of risotto, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The baked method gave the rice a nice crispy texture, and the fines herbes and lemon added a lot of flavor. I would definitely make this again.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The risotto was a bit too creamy for my taste and the flavors were not very distinct. I think it could have used more seasoning or some additional ingredients to add some interest.

I was disappointed with this recipe. The risotto was too dry and the flavors were not well-balanced. I followed the recipe exactly, but I think it needs some adjustments. I would not recommend this recipe to others.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some additional vegetables. I also found that the rice was a bit too al dente for my liking. Overall, it was an okay dish, but I wouldn't make it again.

I've made this baked risotto several times now, and it's always a crowd-pleaser. It's easy to make ahead of time, which is a huge plus for busy weeknights. The leftovers are also great for lunch the next day. I highly recommend this recipe!
