Instructions

Get Prepped
1

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

Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Boil your kettle, then pour the boiled water for the stock (see pantry for amount) into a measuring jug with the veg stock paste. Stir well and set aside - this is your veg stock.

Build the Flavour
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in an ovenproof pan on medium-high heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

Once hot, fry the shallot until softened, 3-4 mins. Stir in the garlic and tomato puree and cook for 1 min more. Add the rice, then stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.
 
Bake your Risotto
3

Pour your veg stock into the rice and stir well to combine. Add the baby plum tomatoes and bring back to the boil.

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 stock has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.

Meanwhile, grate the Cheddar cheese.

Make the Dressing
4

While the risotto bakes, halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount) and squeeze the lemon juice into a large bowl.

Add the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts) to the bowl and mix together. Set aside.

Finishing Touches
5

When the risotto is ready, remove it from the oven and mix in the sun-dried tomato paste, grated Cheddar, hard Italian style cheese and a knob of butter (if you have any).

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

Serve
6

Add the pea shoots to the bowl of dressing and toss to coat.

Share the risotto between your plates or bowls and serve with the salad alongside.

Enjoy!
