Ingredients

2 tsp olive oil  
½ cup Arborio rice   
2 small zucchinis, grated  
½ cup frozen peas, defrosted  
1 tsp reduced-salt vegetable stock powder  
1 cup water  
2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped  
2/3 cup reduced-fat cheddar cheese, grated

1 cup wholemeal breadcrumbs  

Method

Heat oil in saucepan over a low heat. Add the rice and zucchini and stir for a few minutes. Add the stock powder and water and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until rice is cooked through and the water has been absorbed, adding more water if required to finish cooking the rice. Stir through the peas, chives and cheeses and allow to cool.
