Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
Halve the tomatoes and pop them onto a piece of foil with a drizzle of oil, the honey (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of salt and pepper.
Fold the foil, sealing on all sides to create a parcel, then pop it onto a baking tray.
Boil a full kettle.
Pour the boiled water for the stock (see pantry for amount) into a large measuring jug. Stir in the veg stock paste - this is your stock.
When the oven is hot, roast the tomato parcel on the bottom shelf until softened, 15-20 mins.
Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of oil in a large, wide-bottomed saucepan on medium heat.
Add the diced chicken and onion to the pan and stir-fry until softened, 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash hands and utensils after handling raw meat.
Stir in the garlic and cook for 1 min.
Add the risotto rice, then stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.
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. IMPORTANT: Cook so there's no pink in the middle of the chicken.
Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the roasted tomatoes (discarding the juices), sun-dried tomato paste, hard Italian style cheese and butter (see pantry for amount) until combined. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed.
Crumble in half the goat's cheese and stir through. Remove from the heat. Add a splash of water to loosen if needed.
Share the tomato risotto between your bowls and crumble over the remaining goat's cheese.
Top with a handful of rocket. Drizzle over the balsamic glaze.
Enjoy!
