Cooking Steps

Start the risotto
1

• Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. 
• Thinly slice carrot into rounds. Slice lemon into wedges. 
• Roughly chop baby spinach leaves. Finely chop garlic. 
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Add pork
mince and carrot and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 
4-5 minutes. 


TIP: For best results, drain the oil from the pan before adding the 
risotto-style rice. 

Bake the risotto
2

• To the pan, add risotto-style rice, garlic and garlic & herb seasoning
and cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute. 
• Remove pan from heat, then add light cooking cream, stock, the 
boiling water(see ingredients) and a pinch of salt and pepper. 
• Stir to combine, then transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover 
tightly with foil and bake until the liquid has been absorbed and the rice is
‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes. 


TIP: ‘Al dente’ rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Finish the risotto
3

• Stir through half the Parmesan cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, the 
butter, baby spinach leaves and season with salt and pepper to taste. 


TIP: Add a splash of water to the risotto if it looks a little dry.

Little cooks: Help stir through the components. Be careful, the dish may be hot!

Finish & serve
4

• Divide the creamy pork and spinach risotto between bowls.
• Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan cheese. 
• Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy! 
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch by sprinkling over the remaining Parmesan 
cheese!
