Instructions

Get Started
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.

Boil your kettle, then pour the water (see pantry for amount) into a measuring jug.

Add the vegetable stock and dried basil to the jug and stir well to combine. This is your stock.

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

Risotto Time
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed 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.

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

Stir in the stock.

Bring back up to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil) and bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.

Roast your Tomatoes
3

Meanwhile, 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 large baking tray and roast on the bottom shelf until softened, 15-20 mins.

Drain the mozzarella and pat it dry with kitchen paper, making sure you squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Then tear it into pieces.

Add the Flavour
4

When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and mix in the butter (see pantry for amount), hard Italian style cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato paste. Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.

Change your oven setting to grill. Set to the highest temperature.

Get Grilling
5

Arrange your mozzarella on top of your risotto.

Return to the oven and place on the top shelf. Grill until golden and bubbling, 5-8 mins.

Finish and Serve
6

Divide your risotto between your serving bowls, top with your roasted baby plums and drizzle over your pesto.

Enjoy!
