Cooking Steps

Boil the beetroot
1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
  • Boil the kettle. Half-fill a medium saucepan with boiling water and add a generous pinch of salt.
  • Peel beetroot and cut into 1cm chunks.
  • Cook beetroot in boiling water, over high heat, until easily pierced with a fork, 30-35 minutes.
  • Reserve a splash of water. Drain and return beetroot to saucepan. Mash and cover to keep warm.

TIP Cutting the beetroot very small helps it cook faster!

Get prepped
2
  • Meanwhile, tear kale leaves, then discard stems.
  • Roughly chop walnuts. Thinly slice garlic. 
  • Zest lemon to get a pinch then slice into wedges. 
  • Thinly slice leek.
  • Pick thyme leaves.
Start the risotto
3
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook leek and peeled prawns, stirring, until prawn is pink and starting to curl up, 4-5 minutes. 
  • Cook garlic until fragrant, 1 minute.
  • Add risotto-style rice and stir to coat. Add garlic & herb seasoning, thyme, lemon zest, stock concentrate and the water and stir to combine.
  • Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.
Roast the kale
4
  • When the risotto has 10 minutes remaining, add kale to an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Gently toss to combine.
  • Roast until crispy, 8-10 minutes. 
Finish the risotto
5
  • Transfer risotto to a large baking dish.
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
  • Remove risotto from oven and stir through beetroot, butter and  Parmesan cheese. 
  • Add a generous squeeze of lemon juice and the reserved beetroot water. Season to taste.
Finish & serve
6
  • Divide fall roasted beetroot and prawn risotto between bowls. 
  • Crumble over fetta. Sprinkle over chopped walnuts.
  • Serve with crispy kale and any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
