- 250g spinach leaves
- 4 small sprigs mint
- 1 tbsp Olive oil
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1.2 litres hot vegetable stock
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 400g Arborio or other risotto rice
- 150ml dry white wine
- 3 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 4 tbsp Alpro soya cream alternative
- Parmesan shavings, to serve
Method
- Place the spinach and mint in a large colander and pour over boiling water until the leaves just wilt, then leave to drain. Pour the stock into a pan and keep hot over a very low heat.
- Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion, season, and cook for 5 minutes, then add the rice and toss in some olive oil until all the grains are well coated and glistening.
- Add the wine and cook, stirring, until it is absorbed. Add a ladleful of stock and,cook until that is absorbed too, stirring occasionally. Repeat until you've used all the stock and the rice is tender – probably around 20 minutes.
- Squeeze all the water out of the spinach and mint, chop and stir into the risotto along with the parsley and Alpro cream. Stir and cook for a further 2 minutes, then serve immediately with a scattering of Parmesan shavings.
