Cooking Steps

1
  • Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. 
  • Finely chop brown onion (see ingredients), garlic and celery.  Thinly slice pear into wedges. 
  • Roughly chop brie and bacon.
2
  • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Cook prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a plate. 
  • Return frying pan with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, bacon and celery, until starting to brown, 4-5 minutes. 
  • Add garlic, herb & mushroom seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. 
  • Add arborio rice and stir to coat. Add the water (for the rice). 
  • Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.
3
  • Transfer risotto to a baking dish. 
  • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
  • Wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
4
  • When risotto has 10 minutes remaining, wash out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with the butter. 
  • Cook pear, turning occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to medium-low, then carefully add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and water (for the pear) and cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes.
5
  • Remove risotto from oven and stir through the chopped brie until melted. 
  • Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed.
6
  • Divide brie and bacon risotto between bowls. Top with prawns, caramelised pears and rocket leaves. Drizzle balsamic vinegar over the rocket. 
  • Sprinkle parmesan cheese and walnuts. Enjoy!
