Instructions
1 Heat stock. In a non-stick pan, heat oil. Cook onions and garlic until softened.
2 Add rice and stir to coat with oil and flavourings. Cook for a few minutes over a medium heat.
3 Add stock 1/2 cup at a time, stirring well after each addition. Once liquid is absorbed, add next 1/2 cup and stir occasionally to help rice become creamy. Repeat this process with remaining stock.
4 When most of the liquid is absorbed, add beans, peas and zest. Heat for a few more minutes. Stir in rocket. Sprinkle with Cheesy crumbs to serve.
