Instructions

Get Prepped
1
  • Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
  • Boil 1L water (double for 4p) in a medium pot on high heat. When boiling, mix in the stock and reduce heat to lowest setting.
  • Zest the lemon, cut half into wedges and squeeze the rest. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Mix prawns in a bowl with 1 tbsp oil (double for 4p), half the garlic and half the lemon zest. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns.
Start the Risotto
2
  • Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Roughly tear the basil leaves.
  • Heat 1 tbsp butter (double for 4p) in a large pot over medium heat.
  • Fry onion and remaining garlic for 1-2 mins.
  • Add the risotto rice and fry for 1-2 mins. Add the tomato paste and mix well.
Stir in the Stock
3
  • Stir in a ladle of your stock. When it has been absorbed by the rice, stir in another ladle.
  • Keep the pot on medium heat and continue stirring in stock, letting it absorb each time. The cooking time should be 25-30 mins. Your risotto is done when the rice is al dente—cooked through but with a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.
  • Add additional water if the risotto becomes too dry.
Cook the Veg
4
  • On a lined baking tray, mix the cherry tomatoes with a drizzle of oil and balsamic vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the marinated prawns and bake in the oven for 10-15 mins. IMPORTANT: The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
  • Meanwhile, in a bowl, toss the salad leaves with a drizzle of oil and lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Add Everything In
5
  • Add the cherry tomatoes, prawns (including any liquid), remaining lemon zest and half the basil to the risotto.
  • Stir well.
Garnish and Serve
6
  • Divide the risotto between your plates.
  • Serve the salad on the side and garnish with the rest of the basil and lemon wedges.
