Ingredients

1 low salt vegetable stock cube

150g risotto rice

½ lemon, juice and zest

100g frozen peas

2 cubes frozen spinach (approx. 60g frozen weight)

60g goat’s cheese

2tbsp fresh mint leaves, roughly chopped

Method

1
Stir the stock cube into 600ml just-boiled water. Add the rice to a large microwavable bowl and stir in half the stock. Microwave on medium for 6 mins. Stir well, then add the rest of the stock and microwave on high for 5 mins until the rice is just tender.
2
Stir in the lemon juice, peas and spinach and microwave on medium for another 5 mins. Add half the goat’s cheese and mint, stir well and season with black pepper. Cover with a clean tea towel and allow to stand while you prepare the finishing touches.
3
Combine the remaining goat’s cheese with a splash of water, the lemon zest and remaining mint. Spoon the risotto into bowls and serve with the lemony goat’s cheese on top.
