Cooking Steps
Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
In oven-ready tray, combine rice, salami, veggie stock concentrates, chicken stock concentrate, and 1¾ cups water. (For 4 servings, divide everything between two trays, using 1¾ cups water for each tray.)
Cover tray tightly with foil. Bake on middle rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until rice is cooked, 30-35 minutes (for 4, bake two trays side by side on middle rack).
Meanwhile, place spinach in a large microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave until wilted, 1-2 minutes.
Cut 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) into small pieces. Quarter lemon.
Once rice is done, carefully remove foil (watch out for steam!); stir in spinach, cream cheese, sun-dried tomato paste, and butter pieces until combined (for 4, divide everything between two trays). TIP: If risotto seems too thick, add a splash of water.
Taste and season with pepper if desired.
Divide risotto between shallow bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan and as many chili flakes as you like. Serve with lemon wedges on the side.

Reviews from our home cooks
Very delicious recipe. One note would be that the aluminum tray isn't quite large enough to stir the ingredients of the final step. I dumped the tray contents into the larger bowl I wilted the spinach in and it worked perfectly.
Easy to make. I just need to have everything prepped to add to the pan to capture the heat so the butter and cream cheese melt easier. But the flavors were great and the rice cooked SO WELL. I was shocked that I could get a risotto like texture in an oven!
This recipe is awesome! I love Risotto and this recipe made it so easy and it was delicious! I'll definitely get this again
Delicious! It wasn't risotto though, it was wet, slightly overdone rice. Would order again, but I'm sure loads of people can't stand the texture. Not the recipe's fault, I don't think it's possible to make *actual* risotto in an oven tin. 8/10
This could be streamlined. Wash and prep produce once casserole is in the oven. Add tomato paste at the beginning (and butter?). Add spinach in 2 batches directly to baking dish 5-10 minutes before it finishes cooking. Wilted spinach is not all that appealing; add pre-sliced mushrooms or chop up a bell pepper at the beginning instead.
We order for a family of 4 so we got 2 trays for this meal. We made 1 with the salami and the other without. The one that did not have the salami tasted great. However, the one with salami tasted very odd. The next day my daughter ate the unused package of salami for an after school snack and later told me that the salami did not taste like salami at all.
Really liked the salami. Had never tried it in risotto.
Ended up using closer to 2 cups of water. Great easy to make dish!
Easy to cook, delicious and very tasty and healthy
The combination of spinach and salami were too bitter overall
