So many times you come across recipes that look and taste really good, but you’ve never tried making them yourself.Either its the technique or the process or for whatever reason, you’re scared to give it a try.You’ve drooled over them on the web, you’ve ordered them in restaurants and you’ve always wanted to try making them in your kitchen.Well, Sunday Supper is tackling exactly those kinds of recipes today and I’m so excited 🙂

For me the Risotto is one such recipe that I’ve always admired from afar.I order it in the Italian Restaurants,I’ve had it with so many different combinations asparagus,shrimp,mushrooms, but I’ve never attempted to cook it myself!Well today I did it!I made RISOTTO!!Please bear with my craziness but I’m just so so happy that it turned out lip-smackingly delicious!!!

Baked Lemon Coconut Risotto

Although technically its not the perfect way of cooking a Risotto since its baked not cooked on the stove-top by slowly adding the stock ladle by ladle,I found this baked version so much easier without any of that effort!I tweaked the original recipe by using Coconut Milk and Lemon that gives this dish so much flavor and richness.The subtle hint of coconut in the background combined with the tang from the lemon is just incredible!Its so light and refreshing with the grated parmesan and fresh parsley!I’m in love 🙂

    I love the use of coconut milk in the risotto. I’ve made it plenty the traditional way with stirring for what seems like forever. Nice alternative way to make it when you don’t have the time to stand over the stove.

    Never would´ve thought of making a savory risotto with coconut milk. But it´s a fantastic idea Soni! And though I made risotto countless times, I still have to make the baked version.

    I’ve never made risotto either! (And I’m Italian, so shame on me) I heard you walk a fine line when making risotto between overlooking and undercooking so I’ve always been somewhat intimidated. I love that you have a baked method- now that I can feel more comfy with 🙂

  31. Jennie @themessybakerblog says
