Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients). Thinly slice pear into wedges. Trim baby broccoli, halving any thicker stalks lengthways.
  • Finely chop garlic. Slice lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop Brie.
2
  • Heat a large frying pan over high heat. Cook onion and beef mince (no need for oil!), breaking up with a spoon until browned, 4-5 minutes. 
  • Add herb & mushroom seasoning and half the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add risotto-style rice and stir to coat. Add the water (for the rice) and vegetable stock powder. 
  • Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.
3
  • Transfer risotto 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 and stir through the chopped Brie until melted.
  • Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed. Season to taste.
4
  • When risotto has 15 minutes remaining, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Cook baby broccoli, until just tender, 4-5 minutes.
  • Add remaining garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl and allow to cool slightly.
5
  • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter. 
  • Cook pear wedges, turning occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and water (for the pear) and cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes.
6
  • Once baby broccoli has cooled, to bowl, add rocket and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Toss to coat and season to taste.
  • Divide beef and Brie risotto and lemony baby broccoli and rocket salad between bowls. Top risotto with caramelised pears. Enjoy!
