- Add the stock cube to 700ml boiling water and stir to dissolve.
- Add the rice to the pan and stir to coat the rice in the oil. Stir until the rice is translucent. (Approx 2-3 mins)
- Add a small amount of stock. Stir. Repeat this, slowly adding water and stirring until the rice is cooked (approx 20-30 mins). Keep the pan on a low heat so it absorbs the stock slowly.

- Once the rice is cooked add the greens, frozen peas, pesto, and black pepper. Stir. The peas heat through really quickly!
