Cooking Instructions:
  • 1. TO PREPARE THE MESCLUN:

    Place the mesclun into a salad bowl. Just before serving, pour in the basil dressing, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Cut the mixed cherry tomatoes in half.

  • 2. TO PREPARE THE CREAMY TOMATO RISOTTO:

    Place a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Open the bag of steamed risotto rice, squeezing gently on the bag to break up any large clumps. Add the rice to the pan, season with salt and cook for 2-3 mins stirring regularly. Pour in the creamy sun-dried tomato sauce and peas and cook for 1-2 mins. Mix through the cherry tomatoes, crumble over the feta and remove from the heat.

  • TO SERVE:

    Spoon creamy tomato risotto into bowls. Top with a handful of basil dressed mesclun and sprinkle over toasted pinenuts and hemp seeds. Serve with a grind of freshly cracked pepper and remaining mesclun on the side.
