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).

Boil a full kettle. Pour the boiled water for the stock (see pantry for amount) into a large measuring jug. Stir in the vegetable stock paste - this is your stock.

Start your Risotto
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed saucepan on medium heat.

Once hot, add the sliced 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 risotto rice, stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins. Next, add the cider vinegar and allow it to evaporate, 30 secs.

Stir in the Stock
3

Pour in a third of the stock and stir to combine. Bring to the boil and simmer until absorbed, then repeat with the remaining stock, a third at a time. Stir occasionally.

The total cooking time should take 20-25 mins and your risotto is done when the 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.

Stir the prawns into the risotto and cook until tender, 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. TIP: Add a splash of water if you feel the risotto is looking a little dry.

Serve
6

Serve your prawn and tomato risotto between your bowls.

Finish by scattering the chilli flakes over the top (add less if you'd prefer things milder).

Enjoy!
