Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Trim and discard the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways, then thinly slice widthways. 

Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).

Pour the water for the stock (see pantry for amount) into a medium saucepan on high heat. Add the veg stock paste, stir to combine. Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to the lowest setting.

Start your Risotto
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the leek and fry until softened, 4-5 mins. Stir occasionally.

Stir in the garlic and tomato puree (and a drizzle more oil if it's a bit dry). Stir and cook for 1 min.

Add the rice, stir and cook for 1 min until the edges of the rice are translucent, then add the cider vinegar and allow it to evaporate, 30 secs.

Ladle and Stir
3

Stir a ladle of stock into the rice pan. When the stock has been absorbed by the rice, stir in another ladle of stock.

Keep the pan on medium heat and continue stirring in stock, letting it absorb each time.

The cooking time should be 20-25 mins. Your risotto is done when your rice is ‘al dente’ - cooked through but with a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.

Cook the Prawns
4

When the risotto has almost 6 mins left, drain the prawns and pat dry with kitchen paper.

Stir the prawns into the risotto and simmer until cooked, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw prawns. They're cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.

Finishing Touches
5

Once cooked, remove your risotto from the heat and add the hard Italian style cheese and a knob of butter (if you have any).

Stir vigorously until the cheese and butter have melted. Taste and add salt and pepper if needed.

Serve
6

Serve your prawn and tomato risotto in bowls with the chilli flakes sprinkled on top (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Enjoy!
