Ask a question about this stepTo baking!
Also, I've never tried baked!
Look at you! A risotto making fool, you are! With your high risotto standards, I'm sure these recipes are amazing, I can't wait to try them!!!
I think I have come to the conclusion the "great" risotto was a figment of my imagination. I do think I like the baked method better than stirring. I have tested both 3 times this week and I like the baked results better. I think I like this one best too.

This looks fabulous! I'm going to have to make this one. And a big yes to grating tomatoes. This is exactly what I do when making paellas or other Spanish dishes. It's fast and gives me just the texture I'm looking for. I had thought that if I did a risotto this week it would be a paella risotto (with the flavors of a paella), but not sure I'll get to it before Friday when the clock strikes midnight.
