ingredients

5 cups vegetable stock
5 tablespoons white wine
5 ounces Baby Spinach, rinsed and roughly chopped
4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 ³⁄₄ cups arborio rice
salt
ground black pepper
ground nutmeg

directions

Bring the stock to a boil in a pot.
Add the wine, reduce the heat and simmer.
Heat the oil in a large pan or wok.
Gently fry the onion and garlic until soft but not brown, 2 minutes.
Then add the rice and stir fry until the grains are translucent and coated with oil.
Add a ladle of stock, adjust the heat to maintain a gentle boil and stir until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
Keep adding the stock, a ladle at a time, and stir constantly until the rice is almost cooked, 15 minutes.
Add the spinach and more stock and boil, stirring, until the rice is cooked. Risotto rice should retain a bite but the mixture should be of a soft, dropping consistency.
Season to taste with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Serve straight from the pan.

Just right! I doubled this for a main course. This is a go-to recipe for when i have a lot of baby spinach to use. I also added a nice dose of grated Parmesan at the end. There was just enough left for breakfast. ;) Thank you! Made for Diabetic Forum Greens Tag 5/12.

I live with my husband, four cats, and a sweet mutt named Jada in Scarborough, Ontario, where I work as an elementary school administrative assistant. I have a 31 year old daughter who lives with her boyfriend in nearby Don Mills, along with my sweet granddogs, Frankie and Turbo. I would have to say that my passion is animals, since I have so many of them! <img src=http://images.quizilla.com/H/h0t5auce/1108834307_brown_answer.jpg alt= /> <img src=http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/532663/cookswithcattitude.JPG alt= /> <img src=http://i146.photobucket.com/albums/r271/copperhorse58/CalendarGirlsSwap2009.jpg alt= /> If I had a month off work to do what I please, I would first catch up on my sleep and then just have fun - see a few movies and maybe take a couple of short trips - something that wouldn't break the bank - lol!
