Cooking Steps

Cook the prawns & veggies
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook peeled prawns and snacking tomatoes, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. 
• Meanwhile, slice zucchini into thin half-moons.
• Roughly chop silverbeet.
• Pick thyme leaves. 


Little cooks: Help pick the thyme leaves! 

Bake the risotto
2

• To the pan with prawns, add arborio rice, garlic paste, tomato paste, thyme and Nan’s special seasoning, then cook, stirring until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Remove from heat, then add the boiling water (see ingredients) and zucchini. 
• Stir to combine, then transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil, then 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. 

Finish the risotto
3

• When risotto is done, stir through the butter, silverbeet and half the Parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 


TIP: If the risotto looks dry, stir through a splash of water.

Finish & serve
4

• Divide Nan’s baked prawns and veggie risotto between bowls.
• Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!

 
Little cooks: Add the finishing touch and sprinkle over the cheese!
