• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Thinly slice leek and button mushrooms. Finely chop garlic.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook diced bacon, leek, mushrooms and soffritto mix, until golden, 4-6 minutes. • Add herb & mushroom seasoning and arborio rice, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add chicken-style stock powder and the water. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat. • Transfer risotto to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and roasted hazelnuts, stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add garlic and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl and season to taste. • Remove risotto from oven, then stir through basil pesto, the butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed. Season to taste.
• Divide bacon, mushroom and leek risotto between bowls. • Top with hazelnut pangrattato to serve. Enjoy!
