Make the green purée and pesto a few hours ahead and set aside until needed.
To part-cook the risotto, at step 4 cool it quickly by spreading it out on a baking tray, then chill in a bowl, covered, until required (up to 6 hours ahead). To finish, return the risotto to the pan and continue to cook, stirring in the remaining stock, until the rice is al dente, then continue from step 5.
