I fancied spinach but I also felt like risotto. So I combined the risotto recipe from Jeden Tag Genießen and a recipe that I found for Spinach Risotto from www.epicurious.com. Unfortunately, I did have to use the induction cooktop to defrost the frozen spinach. Honestly, it was the first time I have used it since Thermie's arrival. The risotto was absolutely delicious - I hope you enjoy it too.

What an easy recipe for a quick meal Lee - all ingredients on hand. I would have to use chopped fresh spinach from my garden, adding it for the last 5 - 8 minutes of the cooking time. Thanks for the recipe.

Judy, I should have used the spinach from your garden, had I known exactly where it was!!!

Sorry Lee, not enough out there to share at the moment ;) I made your risotto today, boy you guys must have big appetites - it did us for lunch and tea and there is still a small serve left.
I didn't have enough spinach so I cleared out the fridge and made up the quantity with a bit of broccoli, some beans and asparagus ends. Cooked it for just 15 minutes once the wine, stock and vegies (apart from spinach) were added. I shredded the fresh spinach and poured boiling water over it then added that with the cheese with a further 2 minutes on the clock. I reduced the parmesan cheese to 50g as DH is not that fond of it and I can get away with it in smaller quantities. Sprinkled some freshly grated parmesan over mine before serving.
Very tasty - I am slowly starting to enjoy these risotto meals.

Lee you could always defrost the spinach in the varoma instead of using the cooktop ;) ;)

Oh I just realised that this recipe would be a good one for Hally!!! :P :P
Good to see you back Lee :)
-
Now there's a thought - Hally are you out there? - you could always try this with SILVERBEET!! YAY - what a great idea!

This is on the menu this week. I have some spinach in the freezer that I would like to use up.
Looking forward to trying it. :)

I hope you enjoy it. I used all my spinach on a pizza yesterday. It's funny actually. I took a pizza to a friends birthday, as I just wanted to be nice and help out a bit. And guess what? Someone wants to know a little bit "more" about Thermomix.... So they are coming to my house and I will let them cook with me. Bet they buy one too!! He he he he!!!!!!

Good one lee, i bet you have the menu all planned out already.

Good luck with that one, Lee. Will it be your first sale?
-
Keep taking tasty food to parties Lee and you will make plenty of sales ;)
-
I hope so... I am a little bit all talk and no action at the moment. I am just so busy with my "other" job! School holidays are approaching so perhaps I should book some parties in then
