step 1
Preheat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Put a large casserole dish (or ovenproof frying pan) over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp of the olive oil (1 tbsp) and cook the onion (1) for 5-7 minutes until softened.
step 2
Dissolve the stock pot (1) in the boiling water (500 ml). Stir the rice (250 g) into the onions and toast for 1-2 minutes.
step 3
Pour in the stock, then stir in the sliced courgettes (2) and the broad bean, edamame and pea mix (200 g). Transfer to the oven and bake for 25 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
step 4
Meanwhile, mix the walnuts (50 g), mint (15 g), lemon juice (1) and remaining olive oil (1 tbsp) in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
step 5
Fluff the baked rice with a fork and stir through the lemon zest, spinach (40 g) and half of the feta (200 g). Serve topped with the remaining feta and a spoonful of the mint and walnut pesto.
