Method
step 1
Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Tip the peppers and courgettes onto two large baking trays and drizzle with 3 tbsp of the oil. Roast in the oven for 25 mins until the peppers have darkened at the edges.
step 2
Meanwhile, put a large pan over a medium heat. Drizzle in the oil and pour in the passata, stock and white wine vinegar. Bring to the boil, then turn down to a simmer. Add the risotto rice and simmer for around 15 mins, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has reduced and the rice is cooked.
step 3
Gently stir in the cheese and roasted vegetables. Sprinkle over the chives to serve. If freezing, defrost in the fridge and reheat in the microwave.
