Method

Hide images
step 1
Add the stock cube (1) to a saucepan and pour in 1 litre of boiling water. Bring to a gentle simmer and set to one side, keeping the stock warm.
step 2
In a large saucepan, heat the olive oil (3 tbsp) over a medium heat and then add the garlic (3 tsp) and gently sauté for 3-4 minutes.
step 3
Add the chopped sundried tomatoes (1/2 jar) to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
step 4
Add the rice (300 g) to the pan and gently toast for 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent it sticking.
step 5
Add the warm stock a ladle at a time, ensuring each addition is almost fully absorbed before adding the next. Continue adding the stock until it’s all incorporated into the rice, around 15-20 minutes. Add a little more water if necessary. The rice should retain some ‘bite’ in the very centre.
step 6
When the rice is cooked, add the roasted red peppers (1 jar) and warm through for 1 minute. Stir in the pesto (4 tsp) and remove from the heat.
step 7
Serve topped with basil leaves (to taste).
step 7 Serve topped with basil leaves (to taste).
