Cooking Instructions and Tips

Get Prepped
1

Trim the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all). Halve the chilli lengthways, deseed, then thinly slice.
Pour the water for the stock (see ingredients for amount) into a pan and add the veg stock paste. Pop on high heat and bring to the boil. Stir, then reduce the heat to low to keep it warm.

Start the Risotto
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the leek and fry until softened, 4-5 mins. Stir occasionally.
Once soft, stir in the garlic and tomato puree (and a drizzle more oil if it's a bit dry). Stir and cook for 1 min.
Add the rice, then stir and cook for 1 min until the edges of the rice are translucent.
Add the cider vinegar and allow it to evaporate, 30 secs.

Stir in the Stock
3

Stir a ladle of 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 be 20-25 mins. Your risotto is done when your rice is ‘al dente’ - cooked through but with a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle. TIP: You may not need all your stock or you may need to add a bit of extra water.

Cook the Prawns
4

When the risotto has 5 mins cooking time left, stir in the prawns and simmer until they are cooked, 5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Finish Up
5

Once cooked, remove the risotto from the heat and add the hard Italian style cheese, a knob of butter (if you have some) and half the parsley.
Stir vigorously until the cheese and butter have melted.

Serve
6

Taste the risotto and add salt and pepper if needed.
Serve your prawn and tomato risotto in bowls with the red chilli (use less chilli if you don't like heat) and the remaining parsley sprinkled on top.
Enjoy!
