Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop brown onion. • Roughly chop baby broccoli. • Slice zucchini into half-moons. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion’s outer layer.

Start the risotto
2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
• Cook veggie mince and onion and cook, breaking up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.

Bake the risotto
3

• 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 the salt and water. Bring to the boil, then remove from the heat.

Make the pangratatto
4

• Transfer risotto to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is ‘al dente’, 24-28 minutes. TIP: ‘Al dente’ rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

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. Little cooks: Help sprinkle over the Parmesan cheese before stirring through the risotto (be careful, the risotto is hot!).

6

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