I adore this risotto, and have made it many times with white arborio as it’s almost impossible to find brown short grain rice in Australia. Today, I tried it with the usual, supermarket medium-grain brown rice and it worked beautifully! Hooray!

Divine! I used white Arborio rice and it only needed 30 min in the oven. Used pine nuts instead of almonds.

This is a delicious recipe!! Made exactly as written, but used white Arborio rice only because I was unable to find brown Arborio rice.

This is SO good and so easy. I used a cauliflower plus most of a bag of butternut squash crinkles from Trader Joe’s, plus some Brussels sprouts. I used half a cup of sharp cheddar and half a cup of Parmesan. I used a cup of soy milk in with the broth, not sure that made any difference. I was trying to follow a recipe from a store in my city that makes this, but I wanted to use brown rice so when I saw your recipe, I kind of adapted it to the one I was following. Baking the rice was so much simpler than doing it on the stove, I’ll always do it that way going forward. Thanks so much!

I’ve made risotto hundreds of times, stove top so baking was new to me.
I puréed 3/4 head of roasted cauliflower which made just over 2 cups, reserving some for a crunchy topping.
Used 3 c broth and all of cauliflower purée. Baked for 45 min covered using white Arborio.
Rice was severely over cooked and resembled more like rice pudding. Taste was good but couldn’t get over the sloppy texture; Didn’t need to add any wine, butter, park nor additional stock.
Topped with crunchy roasted cauliflower, crisp bacon, seared scallops and a squeeze of lemon.
Will try again using stove top method to control doneness.
