Cooking Steps
1
- Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
- Thinly slice brown onion (see ingredients). Thinly slice pear into wedges. Thinly slice silverbeet.
- Slice lemon into wedges. Finely chop garlic and thyme.
- Roughly chop Brie.
2
- In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion and slice mushrooms until tender, 6-8 minutes.
- Add herb & mushroom seasoning, garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
- Add arborio rice and stir to coat. Add the water (for the rice), thyme and vegetable stock pot.
- Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.
3
- Transfer risotto to a baking dish.
- Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.
4
- When risotto has 10 minutes remaining, wash out frying pan and return frying pan to medium-high heat with the butter.
- Cook pear wedges, turning occasionally, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, then carefully add the balsamic vinegar, brown sugar and water (for the pear) and cook until dark and sticky, 3-5 minutes.
5
- Remove risotto from oven and stir through the chopped Brie until melted.
- Stir in silverbeet, a good squeeze of lemon juice, until combined and slightly wilted. Season to taste.
- Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed.
6
- Divide brie and mushroom risotto between bowls. Top with caramelised pears.
- Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
