Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Slice zucchini into thick half-moons. • Roughly chop onion. • Finely chop garlic. • Pick thyme (see ingredients).

2

• Place zucchini on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.

3

• Heat large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion and sliced mushrooms until tender, 5-6 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice, vegetable stock pot, thyme and the water. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil.

4

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

5

• Remove risotto from oven, then stir through baby spinach leaves, Parmesan cheese, roasted zucchini and the butter. Season to taste. • Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed.

6

• Divide mushroom and green veggie risotto between bowls. • Garnish with flaked almonds and chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
