• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice.
• When risotto is done, stir through the butter and baby spinach leaves until slightly wilted. Season to taste.
TIP: If the risotto looks dry, stir through a splash of water.
• Divide Portuguese-style rice between bowls. Top with garlic prawns.
• Drizzle over lemon mayo. Tear over parsley (see ingredients) to garnish. Serve with lemon wedges. Crumble over feta. Enjoy!
