Cooking Steps

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.
Roughly chop Brie.

In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
Cook diced bacon, breaking up bacon with a spoon, until golden, 4-6 minutes.
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) and vegetable stock pot.
Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.

Transfer risotto to a baking dish.
Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes.

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.

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.
