Don't let the word risotto scare you - this is made in the oven and is incredibly easy-maybe not a traditional risotto, but it's pretty close!If I'm not serving it with something lemony, then I like to add a splash of fresh lemon juice to the rice at the end. This came from Ina Garten, thru our local paper. I've made it countless times and it never disappoints.
