Instructions

Get Frying
1

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

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.

Once hot, add the beef mince and fry until browned, 4-5 mins. Use a spoon to break it up as it cooks. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw mince.

Garlic Time
2

Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

When the mince has browned, drain and discard any excess fat. Season with salt and pepper. IMPORTANT: The mince is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Bake your Risotto
3

Add the risotto rice, tomato puree and garlic to the beef. Stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.

Stir in the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount), chicken stock paste and gochujang. 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, 25-30 mins.

Add the Peas
4

When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and stir in the peas until piping hot, 1 min.

Finishing Touches
5

Stir the butter (see pantry for amount), honey and hard Italian style cheese through the risotto. TIP: If your honey has hardened, put the sachet in a bowl of hot water for 1 min to loosen.

Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.

Serve Up
6

Share your gochujang risotto between your serving bowls.

Sprinkle over the chives to finish.

Enjoy!
