Instructions

Get Prepping
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle.

Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press)

Fry the Flavours
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking. 

Once hot, add the onion and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins.

Add the garlic and risotto rice, then stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.

Bake your Risotto
3

Pour in the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount), vegetable stock paste and dried rosemary.

Stir to combine, bring back up to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil).

Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.

Roast the Broccoli
4

Meanwhile, roughly chop the walnuts. Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways. 

When the risotto has 10 mins remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.

Once the oil is hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 2-3 mins more. 

Remove the lid, add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.

Finishing Touches
5

When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and stir through the butter (see pantry for amount) and hard Italian style cheese. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.

Stir the spinach into your risotto a handful at a time and allow to wilt until it's piping hot.

Garnish and Serve
6

Share the risotto between your bowls and top with the broccoli.

Crumble over the blue cheese and scatter over the walnuts, then drizzle with the balsamic glaze to finish.

Enjoy!
