Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place the Reynolds® Oven Bag in a 13x9x2-inch baking pan.

02

Step

Add flour, salt, and pepper to the bag. Gently shake and squeeze the bag to evenly distribute the seasonings. (2 minutes)

03

Step

Add the chopped onion, mushrooms, Arborio rice, and 1 tablespoon of butter to the oven bag. Turn the bag several times to thoroughly mix the ingredients. Ensure they are arranged in an even layer. Fold down the bag opening two times to hold it open. (5 minutes)

04

Step

In a microwave-safe bowl or measuring cup, combine the water and chicken broth. Microwave on high power for approximately 3 minutes, or until the liquid is very hot.

05

Step

Carefully pour the hot liquid over the ingredients in the oven bag. Carefully unfold the bag opening. (2 minutes)

06

Step

Close the bag with the provided nylon tie. Cut six 1/2-inch slits in the top of the bag near the tie to allow steam to escape. (3 minutes)

07

Step

Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until most of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. (30 minutes)

08

Step

Let the risotto stand for 5 minutes inside the bag. Carefully cut the top of the bag open. (5 minutes)

09

Step

Spoon the risotto into a large serving bowl. Stir in the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese. If needed, stir in up to 1/2 cup of additional hot water to achieve a creamy consistency. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. (5 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade chicken broth.
Different varieties of mushrooms, such as shiitake or oyster mushrooms, can be substituted for cremini mushrooms.
For a vegetarian version, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
Be careful when opening the oven bag, as hot steam will escape.
To prevent the rice from sticking, ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed in the bag before baking.

    I added a splash of white wine before baking, and it gave it an extra layer of complexity.
