Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Finely chop celery and garlic. Drain the sweetcorn. Zest lemon to get a pinch and slice into wedges. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook corn and celery, stirring, until tender, 3-4 minutes.

2

• To the pan with the veggies, add risotto-style rice, tomato paste, chicken-style stock powder, classic roast seasoning and half the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Remove pan from heat, then add the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people), then stir to combine. 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 slightly firm in the centre.

3

• When the rice has 10 minutes remaining, drain and pat dry peeled prawns. • In a medium bowl, combine prawns, lemon zest, remaining garlic and a drizzle of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.

4

• Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 4-5 minutes.

5

• When risotto is done, stir through the butter, lemon zest, lemon juice and baby spinach leaves until slightly wilted. Season to taste.

TIP: If the risotto looks dry, stir through a splash of water.

6

• Divide Portuguese-style rice between bowls. Top with garlic prawns. • Tear over parsley (see ingredients) to garnish. Serve with lemon wedges. Enjoy!
