Ingredients:
3 1/4 cups organic vegetable broth |
1 tablespoon unsalted butter |
1/2 cup finely chopped onion |
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic |
1 1/4 cups uncooked arborio rice |
3/4 cup canned crushed tomatoes |
2 ounces chopped fresh mozzarella cheese (about 1/2 cup) |
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt |
2 cups torn fresh baby spinach |
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh basil |
4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
Directions:
1. Bring vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
2. Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and garlic to pan; sauté 2 minutes or until onion is tender, stirring frequently. Add rice to pan; cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add 1/2 cup broth to rice mixture; cook for 5 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Reserve 1/3 cup broth. Add remaining broth, 1/4 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 22 minutes total). Stir in tomatoes; cook for 1 minute. Add cheese, pepper, and salt to rice mixture, stirring constantly until cheese melts. Remove from heat; stir in reserved 1/3 cup broth, spinach, and basil. Place 1 cup risotto in each of 4 shallow bowls. Drizzle 1 teaspoon oil over each serving.
