Oven-Baked Risotto with Roasted Mushrooms
with garlicky chard and beans

Make
-
Heat oven to 425F / 218C degrees. Situate racks so that you can fit both a saute pan on the bottom rack and a sheet pan on the top rack.
-
Heat an oven-safe pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add first part of oil (for the risotto) and then onions to heated oil. Saute until softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
-
Stir in rice and saute until rice is lightly toasted and the pan is dry. Pour in stock and bring to a boil. Cover and bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
-
Toss mushrooms on a sheet pan with second part of oil (for the risotto) and thyme. Roast for 10 to 12 minutes (time it so they’ll finish around the same time as the risotto).
-
While risotto and mushrooms are cooking, heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (portion for the chard) and then chard stems to heated oil. Saute until tender, ~3 minutes. Fold in garlic, beans, and chard leaves. Saute until leaves are softened. Finish with lemon juice and season to taste with some salt and pepper.
-
Once mushrooms are done roasting, season with some salt and pepper. Fold mushrooms and butter into the risotto. Grate parmesan cheese over top and sprinkle with parsley.
