#vegan pea and spinach #risotto
This was so delicious!
Ingredients to serve 3
1 litre veggie stock
1 lemon
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 red onion, finely diced
1 leek, finely diced (just the light green and white bits)
2 garlic cloves, minced
Leaves from 6 sprigs of fresh thyme
130g arborio risotto rice
160g fresh peas (or defrosted frozen ones!)
160g fresh baby spinach
15g fresh basil, finely chopped
Salt and pepper
Let’s get to it!
1. Make up your stock, and leave it in a jug on the side.
2.Zest the lemon and set it aside. Juice the lemon, and set that aside!
3. Heat up the oil until very hot, then fry onion and leek until soft (5 mins ish!) on a medium heat.
4. Add the garlic and thyme and cook for 2 more minutes.
5. Turn the heat right up, then add the lemon juice and risotto rice. Stir to combine and keep stirring until the juice disappears.
6. Add a ladleful of stock, and stir the whole lot until the rice absorbs it.
7. Add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly and each time waiting for the last to be absorbed. Do this until the rice is cooked, and all the stock is gone…about 20-25 minutes.
8. Stir in the lemon zest, basil, spinach and peas, and add some pepper.
9. Eat!
