Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a large deep frying pan. Add the onion and cook gently for 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the mushrooms and garlic and cook gently for 2-3 minutes.
  2. Stir in the rice to coat with the onion and mushroom mixture. Pour in the wine and cook over a moderate heat for about 3 minutes, stirring from time to time, until the wine is absorbed.
  3. Reduce to a gentle heat. Add the tomatoes and 125ml/ 4fl oz of the stock and cook for about 5 minutes until the liquid is absorbed. Pour in a further 125ml/4fl oz stock and continue cooking until absorbed. Repeat with the remaining stock, until it is all absorbed and the rice is creamy and tender.
  4. Stir in the parsley and half the parmesan. Season to taste. Scatter the spinach over the risotto. Cover and cook gently for 4-5 minutes until the spinach has just wilted. Serve immediately sprinkled with the remaining parmesan.

    Very nice. It's easy to make, you just need to keep an eye on it (as is required when cooking risottos this way). Double up the quantities and get some friends over.

    This was really nice, and simple to make, my fiance absolutely loved it (and dishes without meat are NOT his thing).

    Amazing and very easy. I added beef tomato and broccoli too, which added to the colour.

    This is fantastic. Easy to make and very tasty! We often add chicken or turkey meat at the end.

    Wow!!! Yum yum yum, restaurant quality and incredibly easy. I'll make this again and again and it's an easy alternative for an impressive dinner for entertaining if you want minimum hassle. I didn't have any parsley and it was superb without.

    Very nice dish although had to add more stock as rice took longer than expected to cook. Used the rice to stuff pepper halves, with cheese sprinkled on the top.

    Superb! And it was so simple to do. I found it hard to believe that the simple ingredients could produce such a flavour!

    This risotto is very tasty and easy to prepare. I made it for a friend who came round for dinner and the next time I invited her she insisted that I make it again. Now that's what I call a success!

    I love this dish I have cooked it many time for friends and my husband. I think its better than oven baking it as in some recipe's on here the flavour is more intense. Yo can get great satisfaction through stiring in the ingrediants.. Tryit..
