Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Grate the carrot. • Finely chop garlic. • Roughly chop silverbeet.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Cook carrot, garlic & herb seasoning and 1/2 the garlic until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice, stirring to combine. Add the water. Bring to the boil and cook, stirring, until combined, 2 minutes. • 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.
• Meanwhile, wipe out frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and remaining garlic, stirring, until golden brown, 3-4 minutes. • Transfer to a bowl. Season to taste.
• When the risotto has 5 minutes remaining, return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. • Cook prawns and 1/2 the butter, tossing, until prawns are pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. • Add a pinch of chilli flakes (if using). Remove from heat.
• Remove risotto from oven. Stir through grated Parmesan cheese, silverbeet and remaining butter. • Season to taste.
TIP: If the risotto is dry, stir through a splash of water.
• Divide baked risotto between bowls. • Top with seared prawns. • Sprinkle with garlic pangrattato to serve. Enjoy!

Review summary
Updated on Feb 2026- Flavour: Many loved the dish's delicious flavours, especially the garlicky silverbeet and fresh, tasty prawns. Some found the risotto a bit bland.
- Ease of prep: The baked risotto method was praised as surprisingly easy, though a few found the multiple steps fiddly.
- Suggestions: Several recommended adding lemon or cherry tomatoes for acidity. Some preferred less garlic and herb seasoning to reduce saltiness.
- Leftovers: While delicious fresh, a few noted the risotto became gluggy when reheated, and the cheese made it difficult to reheat.
- Texture: The crunchy pangrattato topping was a hit, adding welcome texture to the creamy risotto.
