Risotto

We don't make this often enough.

We use Delia's recpe for oven baked risotto, which eliminates the need for constantly adding a ladleful of stock, stirring, then another ladleful, etc.

Every time I make it, I wonder why we don't make it more often.


Yesterday I made it to use up some ham.  I remembered to defrost some home made chicken stock,  and this made it a really deeply flavoured risotto.

I must make this more often.
