Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Halve the tomatoes and pop them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, then season with salt and pepper.
Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel. Pop onto a baking tray.
Pour the water for the stock (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan on high heat. Stir in the veg stock paste.
Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting to keep the stock warm.
When the oven is hot, roast the tomatoes on the bottom shelf until softened, 15-20 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large saucepan on medium heat.
Once hot, add the garlic and sun-dried tomato paste and cook for 1 min.
Add the risotto rice, then stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.
Stir a ladle of your stock into the rice pan.
When the stock has been absorbed by the rice, stir in another ladle of stock.
Keep the pan on medium heat and continue stirring in stock, letting it absorb each time. The cooking time should take 20-25 mins and your risotto is done when your rice is ‘al dente’ - cooked through but with a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.
Meanwhile, zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount).
Squeeze the juice from half the lemon into a small bowl. Mix in the olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for amount), then season with salt, pepper and a pinch of sugar (if you have any).
Mix together, then taste and add more lemon juice, salt, pepper and sugar if needed.
Just before serving, add the rocket to the dressing and toss to coat.
Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the roasted tomatoes, hard Italian style cheese, butter (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of lemon zest until combined, 1-2 mins. Taste and add salt, pepper and more zest if needed.
Crumble in half the goat's cheese and stir through. Add a splash of water to loosen if needed.
Share the tomato risotto between your bowls and crumble over the remaining goat's cheese. Serve with the rocket salad alongside.
Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many enjoyed the creamy, cheesy taste, though some found the goat's cheese overpowering; consider reducing the amount for a milder flavour.
- Ease of prep: While some found it simple to follow, others noted the risotto took longer to cook than expected.
- Suggestions: Consider adding chicken or mushrooms for extra depth; try oven-baking the entire risotto to simplify the cooking process.
- Portions: Several reviewers mentioned the portion size was small; consider increasing the amount of rice and vegetables.
- Texture: Some found the risotto too stodgy; try adding stock more gradually and stirring less frequently for a better consistency.
