Spinach-Pea Risotto
Ingredients
  • 2
    cloves garlic, minced
  • 2
    tablespoons olive oil
  • 1
    cup Arborio rice
  • 1/2
    cup thinly sliced carrots
  • 2
    14 ounce can vegetable broth or reduced-sodium chicken broth (3-1/2 cups)
  • 2
    cups fresh spinach leaves, coarsely chopped
  • 1
    cup frozen baby or regular peas
  • 2
    ounces Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, shredded
  • 1/3
    cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 1/4
    cup thin wedges fresh radishes
  • 2
    teaspoons snipped fresh tarragon
  • Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Directions

1. In 3-quart saucepan cook garlic in hot oil over medium heat for 30 seconds. Add the rice. Cook about 5 minutes or until rice is golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove from heat. Stir in carrots.

2. Meanwhile, in a 1-1/2-quart saucepan bring broth to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer.

3. Carefully stir 1 cup of hot broth into rice mixture. Cook, stirring frequently, over medium heat until liquid is absorbed. Then add 1/2 cup broth at a time, stirring frequently until broth is abosorbed before adding more broth (about 22 minutes).
