Fresh Green Risotto

This risotto is high in veg, but also sticky and savoury to stave off the winter chills. Veg from Ted’s Veg, a market regular at the market every week.

Ingredients

1 tbs olive oil and 60g unsalted butter
3 small shallots and two garlic cloves finely chopped
100g sugar snaps, 100g French beans, a thinly sliced courgette and a couple of handfuls of spinach leaves
200g arborio rice or vialone nano rice
100ml vermouth or dry white wine
A litre of hot vegetable stock
½ cup grated parmesan, plus some to serve
Rocket leaves to garnish

Take a large, deep, frying pan and heat the butter and olive oil over a medium-high heat. Add the onion and garlic and fry gently till translucent.

Add the rice and stir for a minute or two till coated in the oil and just starting to brown. Add the Vermouth or wine and bring to the boil.

Add the hot stock a ladleful at a time, stirring. Ensure each ladleful is absorbed before adding the next. Stir for 10-15 minutes until the rice is almost tender.

Add the green veg, but not the spinach and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until tender, then stir through the baby spinach to wilt. Stir in the grated parmesan and remaining butter to combine.

Serve hot, garnished with parsley and lemon zest.
