Cozy up with a comforting and easy midweek dinner to beat the chilly nights.
Ingredients:
  • 36.40 gm extra virgin olive oil, plus extra, to drizzle
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 200g silverbeet, stems finely chopped, leaves shredded
  • 200g (1 cup) white long-grain rice
  • 1L vegetable liquid stock
  • 220g fresh or frozen double-peeled broad beans (see note)
  • 1 lemon, zested, juiced
  • 62.50 ml chopped basil leaves
  • 125.00 ml chopped flat-leaf parsley
  • 110g fresh mozzarella, (see note) torn
Instructions:
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, sauté onion, garlic, and silverbeet stems in oil until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in rice for 1 minute to coat, then pour in stock and 250ml (1 cup) water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes until rice is almost tender. Fold in broad beans, silverbeet leaves, and lemon juice, cooking for 2 minutes until leaves wilt and beans are tender. Stir in three-quarters of the herbs, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve the soup in individual bowls, top with mozzarella, remaining herbs, lemon zest, and a generous drizzle of extra oil.
