Serves: 4

Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 30 minutes

Stage: 3

Ingredients 
2 TBSP olive oil
1 medium, yellow onion, diced
1-½ cup risotto rice, dry
5 cups vegetable stock
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
8 oz frozen spinach
3 oz grated parmesan

Instructions 

1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

2. Add the rice and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3 minutes.

3. Lower heat to medium-low and add vegetable stock 1 cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until all the stock has been almost absorbed into the rice before adding the next cup. Keep repeating the process for about 16-17 minutes, until rice is cooked. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

4. Turn heat to low. Stir in the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally until warmed through, about 5 minutes.

5. Remove pan from heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
