Cooking Steps
Boil the kettle. Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Slice leek into rounds. Slice lemon into wedges.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook pork mince and leek, breaking up mince with a spoon, until just browned, 4-5 minutes.
Add arborio rice, garlic paste and garlic & herb seasoning to the pork and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat, then add longlife cream (see ingredients), chicken-style stock powder and the boiling water (1 1/2 cups for 2 people / 3 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 has been 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, salad leaves, 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese 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 creamy pork and leek risotto between bowls. Sprinkle over remaining Parmesan cheese. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges.
