Method

Step 1 of 4

Heat the oil in a heavy-based saucepan and add the shallots, garlic, celery, zucchini and carrot and fry slowly for 4 minutes or until the vegetables have softened. Add the rice and turn up the heat. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes.

Step 2 of 4

Add a ladleful of hot stock followed by half the herbs and season well.

Step 3 of 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the remaining stock, 1 ladleful at at time, stirring constantly until each amount is absorbed and the rice is just firm to the bite but cooked through.

Step 4 of 4

Remove from the heat and gently stir in the remaining herbs, butter, lemon zest and Parmesan. Place the lid on the pan and allow to sit for 2 to 3 minutes, during which time it will become creamy and oozy. Serve immediately, sprinkled with freshly ground black pepper.
