Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop onion (see ingredients) and garlic. Cut baby broccoli into thirds. • In a large frying pan, heat the butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until tender, 4-5 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add arborio rice and garlic & herb seasoning, stir to combine, then cook until rice is coated and slightly translucent, 1-2 minutes.

2

• Add the water and vegetable stock powder to the pan. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat. Carefully transfer the risotto to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes.

TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

3

• While the risotto is baking, place cherry tomatoes and baby broccoli on a lined oven tray. • Add the brown sugar, then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat and roast until veggies are caramelised and tender, 15-20 minutes.

4

• Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds (see ingredients), tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside. • Meanwhile, cut lemon into wedges.

5

• When the risotto is done, stir through the roasted veggies, baby leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, basil pesto and a generous squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.

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

6

• Divide cherry tomato and basil pesto risotto between bowls. • Top with toasted flaked almonds. Tear over parsley. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
