• In a large frying pan, heat 1/2 the butter with a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook onion, stirring, until softened, 5 minutes. • Add 1/2 the garlic and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice, stirring to coat. Add the water and vegetable stock pot. Bring to the boil.

• Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil, then bake for 20 minutes. • Remove risotto from oven. Stir through carrot and a splash of water. • Re-cover with foil, then return to oven and bake until liquid is absorbed, carrot is tender and rice is 'al dente', a further 5-7 minutes.

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

• Meanwhile, zest lemon to get a good pinch, then slice into wedges. • Wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and flaked almonds, stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add lemon zest, Italian herbs and remaining garlic. Cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Transfer pangrattato to a bowl. Add a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
