Cooking Steps
ā¢ Boil the kettle. Preheat the oven to 220Ā°C/200Ā°C fan-forced. ā¢ Thinly slice carrot into rounds. Slice lemon into wedges. ā¢ In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Add beef mince and carrot and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
ā¢ To the pan, add the arborio rice, garlic paste and garlic & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. ā¢ Remove from the heat then add the light cooking cream, chicken stock pot, boiling water and a pinch of salt and pepper. ā¢ Stir to combine then transfer the risotto mixture to a medium baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is āal denteā, 24-28 minutes.
ā¢ Stir through half the shaved Parmesan cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, the butter, baby spinach leaves and season to taste.
TIP: Add a drizzle of water to the risotto if it looks a little dry.
ā¢ Divide the creamy beef and spinach risotto between bowls. ā¢ Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan cheese. ā¢ Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
