Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut eggplant into small chunks. Slice carrot into thick half-moons. Roughly chop onion. Finely chop garlic. • Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Toast flaked almonds, tossing, until golden, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
• Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion until tender, 3-5 minutes. • Add garlic and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Add arborio rice, vegetable stock powder and the water. Stir to combine and bring to the boil.
• 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, place eggplant and carrot on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and toss to coat. • Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes.
• Remove risotto from oven, then stir through baby spinach leaves, grated Parmesan cheese, chargrilled capsicum relish, roasted veggies and the butter. • Stir through a splash of water to loosen risotto if needed.
• Divide roasted eggplant risotto between bowls. • Garnish with toasted almonds and chilli flakes (if using) to serve. Enjoy!
