1. Heat the 2 tblspn olive oil in a pan and gently fry the leeks and garlic for 2-3 minutes.
2. Add the arborio rice and stir, coating the rice, until slightly golden brown.
3. Add the mushrooms and keep stirring for 4-5 minutes.
4. Add the sherry and stir constantly until the liquid has been absorbed.
5. Stirring constantly, add 200ml of vegetable stock. Simmer gently, and as the liquid gets absorbed keep adding adding a little more stock while stirring and simmering until all the stock has been absorbed and the rice has a creamy texture but retains some "bite".
6. Stir in the spinach for 1-2 minutes. Server in heated bowls.

Very good, I used Crimini mushrooms and Sauvignon Blanc instead of Sherry. I also topped it with shredded Parmesan cheese.
