• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Grate zucchini.
• Zest lemon to get a pinch then cut into wedges.
• Pick thyme leaves.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and garlic paste and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Add risotto rice, stirring to combine. Add the water, stock concentrate, thymeand bring to the boil. Cook, stirring, until combined, 2 minutes.
• Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish, then cover tightly with foil. Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
TIP: ‘Al dente’ rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto, if needed.
• When the risotto has 5 minutes remaining, wipe out frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook diced bacon, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. Wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Cook peeled prawns and lemon zest, tossing, until prawns are pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Remove risotto from the oven.
• Stir through baby spinach leaves, the butter, Parmesan cheese, half of the parsley and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
• Divide lemon and parsley risotto between plates. Top with prawns and garnish with remaining parsley to serve. Sprinkle over with diced bacon. Enjoy!
