Cooking Steps

Get prepped
1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Finely chop garlic and brown onion.
• Roughly chop baby broccoli.
• Slice zucchini into half-moons.

Start the risotto
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add plant-based mince and onion and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until golden, 3-4 minutes. 
• Add zucchini and baby broccoli and cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
• Add garlic & herb seasoning and risotto-style rice, stirring until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. 
• Add chicken stock and the water. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.

Bake the risotto
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. 

TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

Make the pangratatto
4

• While the risotto is cooking, wipe out the frying pan and return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Add panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and cook, stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes.
• Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Transfer to a small bowl and season to taste.

Bring it all together
5

• Remove risotto from the oven and stir through basil pesto and Parmesan cheese.
• Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed. Season with pepper.

Finish & serve
6

• Divide plant-based mince and zucchini risotto between bowls.
• Top with garlic pangrattato to serve. Enjoy!
