Notes
Storage:
Store - If you have any leftovers of oven-baked risotto, you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
Reheat - Either microwave it for a few minutes or heat it up in a pan on the hob with a splash of water or stock to prevent it from drying out. It's important to note that risotto tends to thicken up as it sits, so you may need to add some extra liquid to it when reheating to get it back to the desired consistency.
