Cooking Steps

Get Prepped
1
  • Trim the courgette, then quarter lengthways. Chop into 2cm chunks.
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
  • Halve, peel and chop the shallot into small pieces. 
Make the Stock
2
  • Pour 1000ml water (per 2P) into a pot.
  • Add the stock and white wine stock powder, then bring to the boil. Stir to dissolve the stock. 
  • Allow to simmer over low heat.
Start Frying
3
  • Place a large pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. 
  • When hot, fry the bacon until cooked, 5-7 mins. Remove once cooked. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and equipment after handling raw meat. Cook bacon thoroughly.
  • Add the courgette, onion and shallot and cook until softened, 6-8 mins. 
  • Add the risotto rice to the pan and cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the rice are translucent, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins.
Cook the Risotto
4
  • Add a ladle of stock to the pan. Once absorbed by the rice, stir in another ladle.
  • Keep the pot over medium heat and continue stirring in stock, letting it absorb each time. The cooking time should take 25-30 mins, and your risotto is done when your rice is al dente.
  • Add the spinach, a handful at a time, allowing to wilt.
Finishing Touches
5
  • Bash or roughly chop the hazelnuts. 
  • Stir the cooked bacon and grated Italian cheese into the risotto.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
Dish Up
6
  • Divide the risotto between deep bowls.
  • Crumble the goat's cheese over the top.
  • Finish with a sprinkling of hazelnuts.
