Ingredients:

  • 1 Large courgette
  • 350g of Cherry tomatoes (for sweet tooth)
  • 2 bell peppers (any colour as desired)
  • 1 tbsp. of olive oil
  • 1 Large red onion chopped
  • 1½ tsp. Garlic granules
  • 250g Biona organic white risotto rice
  • 1 tbsp. of Biona organic balsamic vinegar
  • 250ml Biona organic passata
  • 250ml Kallo organic vegetable stock
  • Approximately 8 sun-dried tomatoes chopped into chunks
  • Fresh parsley (handful)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Method:

1

Roast your veggies! Preheat the oven to 180c/350f

2

Drizzle olive oil onto your roasting tray

3

Chop the veggies into small bite sized chunks and spread them out on your tray, sprinkle salt and pepper as desired, give everything a good shake to ensure all are coated.

4

Roast for 30 minutes.

5

For the risotto: Add olive oil to a wok or frying pan on a low to medium heat. (I prefer the wok you get the density without the mess of rice flying everywhere)

6

Sauté the onion for 2-3 minutes before adding garlic granules and allowing to cook for another 1 - 2 minutes.

7

Add your rice to a bowl and apply your balsamic vinegar, stir in the rice to your pan to allow it to coat in oil.

8

Pour in the passata and 250ml of vegetable stock, half a cup at a time ensure you alternate between the two as this helps to create the desired consistency.

9

Allow to cook for 10 minutes and add in your roasted vegetables and sundried tomatoes, cook for a further 5 minutes until everything is thoroughly cooked and the rice is done.

10

Remove from the heat and add in parsley salt & pepper and Vegan cheese if desired.
