• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. Roughly chop silverbeet. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook snacking tomatoes, stirring, until blistered, 4-5 minutes. • Reduce heat to medium-high.

• To the frying pan, add jasmine rice, stirring to coat. Add the water and chicken-style stock powder. Stir to combine, then remove from heat. • Transfer rice mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil, then bake for 20 minutes. • Remove from oven and set aside to rest for 10 minutes, covered.

3

• When the baked rice is ready, stir through basil pesto. • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
