I love this Baked Risotto with Fennel Salami for its simplicity and combination of flavours. If you love minimalistic prep time and then watching the oven, then this is it. Super easy to make.
And there is nothing to complain regarding the creaminess, although traditionally cooked risotto could be a tad little more creamy.
This is absolutely delicious, and you can serve it for dinner with a simple salad on the side. Or, it can be served as a side dish alongside grilled or roasted meats.
Spice it up!
It’s optional but if you would like to spice the Risotto just a little bit, you can add a half teaspoon of my chili paste. Adds the right amount of heat.
