Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Finely chop garlic. Thinly slice white and light green parts of leek. Thinly slice portabello mushrooms.
• In a large frying pan, heat half the plant-based butter and a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. • Add mushrooms, leek and soffritto mix and cook, stirring, until tender, 6-8 minutes. • Add half the garlic, garlic & herb seasoning and arborio rice, stirring, until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. • Add vegetable 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.
TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, wipe out the frying pan, then return to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook panko breadcrumbs (see ingredients) and pine nuts, stirring, until golden brown, 3 minutes. • Add remaining garlic and a pinch of chilli flakes (if using) and cook until fragrant, 1-2 minutes. Season and set aside.
• Remove risotto from oven and stir through plant-based basil pesto and the remaining plant-based butter. Season to taste.
TIP: Stir through a splash of water to loosen the risotto if needed.
• Divide plant-based basil pesto and mushroom risotto between bowls. • Top with pine nut pangrattato and tear over parsley to serve. Enjoy!
