Tesco’s Autumn Risotto Recipe

Food for the perfect cosy night in

SERVES: 6

TOTAL TIME: 1 hour

COST PER PORTION: 99p (prices correct as of January 2023)

Ingredients:

350g frozen butternut squash chunks

300g frozen Chantenay carrots

2 tbsp olive oil, plus a drizzle to serve (optional)

4 tbsp pumpkin seeds

300g arborio rice

2 salt-free vegetable stock cubes*, made up to 1.2ltrs

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Toss the butternut squash and carrots with 1 tbsp olive oil on a large baking tray and roast in the oven for 20 mins, tossing occasionally, until cooked throughout.

2. Put the pumpkin seeds in a large frying pan over a medium-high heat and cook for 3-5 mins, tossing frequently, until they start to pop. Set aside in a bowl.

3. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil in the frying pan, add the rice and toast for 2 mins until it starts to sizzle. Stirring continuously, add the stock a little at a time, allowing it to be fully absorbed between each addition until the rice has puffed up, is coated in a glossy sauce and has a slight bite in the middle – this should take around 20 mins. Season to taste.

4. Stir through the roasted squash and carrots and any cooking juices, allowing them to break up slightly in the risotto. Add a little more boiling water if needed to achieve the desired consistency.

5. Serve topped with the toasted pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of olive oil, if you like.

A Man’s Tide

A short film exploring the impacts of miscarriage on males

Our upcoming short film, A Man’s Tide, intimately and sensitively explores the impacts of miscarriage on a priorly budding relationship. Throughout this process, our work alongside a host of creative talents and mental health specialists has helped us craft what we feel to be a touching and important story.

An incidental acquaintance with a child allows a man to process his grief following the traumatic experience of a miscarriage for him and his partner. With memories and vignettes of the past triggered by this interaction, his experience of the present is peppered with shades of his past, charting the eventual decline of a once warm relationship. While building a sandcastle with the child, the man ultimately realises he must accept the loss and keep building despite the destructive waves and rising tide of his recent past.

The impact of miscarriage on men is barely ever touched upon, let alone male mental health in general. As something that has affected, and continues to affect, men around the world, we feel that it’s both an interesting and valuable perspective to address. We believe this is an important topic that hasn’t received anywhere near the amount of attention it deserves, and hopefully this story will help to change the narrative. We’ve also been incredibly fortunate to be partnered with The Miscarriage Association, a charity which strives to provide support to those who are affected by pregnancy loss, ensuring that they receive the care, information and support that is right for them.

Our team of BAFTA-sponsored NFTS alumni and BFI Future Film award-winners are excited to create something that we believe will make a serious impact.
