Instructions

Make the Stock
1

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

To make your stock, add the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount) to a medium saucepan on high heat.

Stir in the veg stock paste. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting.

Prep the Veg
2

Meanwhile, halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces.

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

Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.

Start the Risotto
3

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed pan on medium heat. Once hot, add the diced chicken and shallot and cook until softened, 3-4 mins. Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 secs more. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw chicken and its packaging. 

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

Ladle and Stir
4

To make your risotto, stir a ladle of stock into the rice. 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. IMPORTANT: The chicken is cooked when no longer pink in the middle.

Roast the Veg
5

When the risotto has about 10 mins cooking time left, pop the Tenderstem® broccoli and baby plum tomatoes onto a baking tray. Drizzle with oil, season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Spread out in a single layer. 

Roast on the middle shelf of your oven until crispy and tender, 10-12 mins.

When the risotto is cooked, remove from the heat. Stir through the sun-dried tomato paste, hard Italian style cheese and butter (see pantry for amount) until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.

Finish and Serve
6

When everything's ready, share the risotto between your bowls.

Top with the roasted broccoli and tomatoes.

Drizzle over the balsamic glaze to finish.

Enjoy!
