• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Thinly slice leek. Zest lemon to get a pinch, then cut into wedges. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, tossing, until browned and cooked through, 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Return the pan to high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. cook pork mince and leek, breaking mince up with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
• Add arborio rice, garlic paste (see ingredients) and garlic & herb seasoning to the pork and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then add chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (2 1/4 cups for 2 people / 4 1/2 cups for 4 people). Season with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
• Transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes.
TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• When the risotto is done, stir through the butter, chicken, baby spinach leaves, 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese, cream (see ingredients), lemon zest and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
TIP: Add a dash of water to the risotto if it looks a little dry.
• Divide pork and leek risotto between bowls. Sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese. • Serve with any remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
