Quick and healthy oven-baked risotto for busy weeknights.
Ingredients:
  • 9.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 leek, white part only, thinly sliced
  • 2 sticks celery, finely chopped
  • 50g pancetta, finely chopped
  • 150g button mushrooms, wiped clean, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g peeled pumpkin, finely chopped
  • 250g arborio rice
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) white wine
  • 750ml (3 cups) salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 20g (1/4 cup) parmesan, finely grated
  • 50g baby spinach leaves
  • Baby herbs, to serve
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 180C/160C fan forced. In a large heavy-based ovenproof saucepan, heat oil over high heat. Add leek, celery, and pancetta, and cook while stirring until soft (about 5 minutes). Add mushrooms and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden. Stir in garlic for 1 minute until aromatic. Finally, add pumpkin and rice, stirring to coat evenly. Enjoy!
  • Pour in a generous amount of wine and allow it to simmer for 1-2 minutes until most of it has evaporated. Mix the stock powder with water in a pitcher, then pour it into the pan. Let it come to a boil, giving it a gentle stir now and then. Cover the pan and bake for 25 minutes until the rice is perfectly cooked.
  • Mix in the parmesan and spinach, cover, and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Serve with a sprinkle of herbs.
