Preparation
1
Prep the Garlic

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Boil your kettle, then pour the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount) into a measuring jug.

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.

2
Risotto Time

Add the garlic to the pan and fry for 1 min. Add the risotto rice, stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.

Add the cider vinegar, and stir until evaporated, 1 min.

Stir in the veg stock and bring back to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil). Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.

3
Roast your Tomatoes

Meanwhile, halve the tomatoes and pop them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, then season with salt and pepper. Drizzle over the honey (see pantry for amount).

Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel. Pop onto a large baking tray and roast on the bottom shelf until softened, 15-20 mins.

Drain the mozzarella and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Pat dry with kitchen paper, then tear into small pieces.

4
Bring on the Spinach

When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and mix in the butter (see pantry for amount), hard Italian style cheese, spinach and sun-dried tomato paste.

Season to taste with salt and pepper if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.

Change your oven setting to grill and set to the highest temperature.

5
Get Grilling

Arrange the mozzarella on top of your risotto.

Grill until golden and bubbling, 5-8 mins.

6
Finish and Serve

Share your risotto between your bowls, then top with your roasted baby plum tomatoes (discard the juices) and drizzle over the pesto to finish.

Enjoy!
