Cooking Steps

1

If you added diced bacon, cook bacon with soffritto mix, breaking up with a spoon, 3-4 minutes. Continue with instructions above.

2

• To mince, add garlic paste, tomato paste and tomato & herb seasoning and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice and stir to coat. Add the boiling water (2 cups for 2P // 4 cups for 4P) and chicken stock pot. • Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.

3

• 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 the butter and baby spinach leaves. Season to taste.

TIP: If the rice is dry, add a splash of water and stir through.

4

• Divide Italian tomato and herby beef risotto between bowls. • Top with Parmesan cheese. Tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
