I learned about an Italian 'peasant' dish called Riso al Forno...it's basically baked rice/risotto, and it's so good, pretty easy to make, and makes a ton so it's perfect for meal prep.

Recipe here originally: Riso al Forno

I don't know if this would interest anyone here, but I made lasagna last weekend, and I guess I thought I needed enough mozzarella for an army. I couldn't bear the thought of more lasagna so I started reading and I found out about riso al forno. There aren't a TON of recipes out there for it and a lot of them are in Italian, but I decided to give it a go. I don't think this is meant to have the super creamy consistency of risotto (I could be wrong; if anyone has any info on this dish, I'd love to be corrected!)

If you don't have arborio rice, I think you could still make something similar, just use 6 cups of cooked short-grain rice.

The basic premise is you parboil arborio rice and toss it with oil and/or parmesan cheese. One recipe also suggested letting the rice cool down completely and then tossing it with 2 whisked eggs which is a great alternative to the cheese.

Then you basically layer it in a casserole dish... rice, homemade sauce, cheese, and then rice, sauce, cheese, and then bake for 25–30 minutes or until the rice is tender. You can use a mix of parmesan, provolone, or mozzarella or I bet you could even skip the cheese completely if you wanted to.

It's basically like lasagna but with rice. I thought it turned out really good so I thought I'd share the recipe here.

I made a homemade meat sauce, but feel free to disregard that and just use ~6 cups of your favorite sauce. Marinara or a meat sauce would both be great in this.

Recipes I've seen online suggest that you could add cured meat to this or a layer of thinly sliced hardboiled eggs too. One lady added eggplant and peppers to hers and that looked really good. I've also seen it suggested to toss your parboiled rice with a ladle of the sauce too before layering.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups arborio rice
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese divided (or omit, it's not totally necessary)
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil
  • 2 pounds ground meat of choice (beef, sausage, pork, turkey, or a mix)
  • 2 tablespoons butter plus more for greasing the casserole dish
  • 1 yellow onion peeled and diced
  • 6 cloves garlic peeled and minced
  • Β½ teaspoon crushed red pepper plus more to taste
  • Β½ teaspoon dry thyme
  • 2 tablespoons tomato paste
  • 3 15-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
  • 1 teaspoon sugar optional

Building a base for a Forno Venetzia

I'll be getting a Forno Venetzia Torino next week but I don't have anything to put it on just yet. We are planning to move this summer so I don't want to build anything permanent right now. Would this oven be fine sitting directly on a wooden stand?
