Before you start

  • Line a baking tray with silver foil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium baking dish & a measuring jug

Do the prep

  • Finely slice the onions. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Halve the tomatoes. Trim the broccoli

Make the risotto

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1 tsp olive oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper
  • Add the tomatoes, sundried tomato paste, paprika & oregano blend and the garlic. Cook for another 2 mins, then add the passata and 150ml water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 3-4 mins, until thickened
  • Stir in the rice and half the goat's cheese, until combined and melted. Season with salt and pepper
  • Turn the grill to high (240C)

Time to grill

  • Transfer the risotto to the medium baking dish. Crumble over the remaining goat's cheese and drizzle over the hot honey (for those who'd like the heat). Place on one side of the foil-lined baking tray
  • Add the broccoli to the other side of the tray, toss with 1 tsp olive oil, the pine nuts and a pinch of salt and pepper. Grill together for 8-9 mins, until golden and softened
