Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle.
• Thinly slice leek and celery. Finely chop garlic.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook veggie mince, brown leek and celery, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes.
• Remove from heat, then add arborio rice, herb & mushroom seasoning, chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (2 1/4 cups for 2 people / 4 1/2 cups for 4 people). Stir to combine.

• Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
• Remove risotto from oven, then stir through plant-based basil pesto, baby spinach leaves and the butter. Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed.
• Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
