1

1 packet

1 sachet
garlic & herb seasoning
1 packet
risotto-style rice
(May be present: Wheat, Gluten, Soy. )
1 packet
peeled prawns
(Contains Crustacean;)

¼ tsp

30 g

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate zucchini. • Finely chop carrot. • Zest lemon to get a pinch then cut into wedges. • Roughly chop parsley.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook carrot, tossing, until softened, 3-4 minutes. Add zucchini and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add risotto-style rice, stirring to combine. Add the water, salt and bring to boil. Cook, stirring, until combined, 2 minutes. • Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish, then cover tightly with foil. Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes.
TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre. TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto, if needed.
• When risotto has 5 minutes remaining, wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook peeled prawns and lemon zest, tossing, until prawns are pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Remove risotto from the oven. • Stir through baby spinach leaves, the butter, Parmesan cheese, half of the parsley and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season generously to taste. • Divide lemon and parsley risotto between plates. Top with prawns and garnish with reserved parsley. • Serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
