Cooking Steps
• Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice leek. Roughly chop tomato. Grate zucchini. Drain and reserve oil from marinated goat cheese and set aside. • Heat a large ovenproof saucepan over high heat with a drizzle of the reserved goat cheese oil. • Cook leek, stirring, until browned and softened, 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to medium-high, then add tomato and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes. • Add Mediterranean seasoning, zucchini and arborio rice to pan and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove saucepan from heat, then stir in vegetable stock pot (see ingredients) and the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people).
• Cover with a lid or tightly with foil. • Bake until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
• Uncover risotto, then stir through basil pesto until combined. Season to taste. • Divide Mediterranean pesto veggie risotto between bowls. • Top with goat cheese and flaked almonds to serve. Enjoy!
TIP: If the rice is dry, add a splash of water and stir through.
