Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut courgette into bite-sized chunks. • Thinly slice button mushrooms. • Finely chop garlic.

Start the risotto
2

• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 6-7 minutes. • Add courgette, mushrooms and half the butter and cook, stirring, until tender, 4-6 minutes. • Add garlic, garlic & herb seasoning and risotto-style rice, then cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.

Bake the risotto
3

• Add the water and chicken-style stock powder to the pan, then bring to the boil. • Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil, then bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.

TIP: ‘Al dente’ rice is cooked through but still has a bit of firmness in the middle.

Prep the salad
4

• While the risotto is baking, roughly chop tomato. • In a medium bowl, combine a drizzle of vinegar and olive oil, then season with salt and pepper. Add mixed salad leaves and tomato. Set aside.

Finish the risotto
5

• When the risotto is done, stir through grated Parmesan cheese and remaining butter. Season to taste.

TIP: Stir through a splash of water if the risotto looks dry.

Serve up
6

• Toss salad to combine. • Divide bacon, mushroom and Parmesan risotto between bowls. • Serve with garden salad. Enjoy!
