Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle.
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press)
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.
Once hot, add the bacon and onion and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook it thoroughly.
Add the garlic and risotto rice, then stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.
Stir in the boiled water for the risotto (see pantry for amount), dried rosemary and veg stock paste. Bring back up 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, 25-30 mins.
Meanwhile, roughly chop the walnuts. Halve any thick broccoli stems lengthways.
When the risotto has 10 mins remaining, heat a drizzle of oil in a medium frying pan on medium-high heat.
Once hot, add the Tenderstem® and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. Add a splash of water, then cover with a lid (or foil) and allow to cook until tender, 2-3 mins more.
Remove the lid, add the garlic and cook for 1 min. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat.
When the risotto is cooked, remove it from the oven and stir through the hard Italian style cheese and butter (see pantry for amount). Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. TIP: Add a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.
Stir the spinach into your risotto a handful at a time and allow to wilt until it's piping hot.
Share the risotto between your bowls and top with the broccoli.
Scatter over the blue cheese and walnuts. Drizzle with the balsamic glaze to finish.
Enjoy!
Step 2 MOD: If you’re adding bacon, add it to the pan with the onion. Fry for the same amount of time, then continue as instructed. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat. Cook it thoroughly.
