Ingredients
150g brown arborio rice29g spring greens, chopped43g leek, sliced thin51g courgette (zucchini), diced or slices134g mushrooms, sliced thinly2 cloves of garlic, chopped small6 fresh basil leaves, roughly torn20g butter/olive oil500ml veg stock
Directions
Fry off the leek and the garlic in the butter. After a couple of minutes, add the arborio rice. Fry off until the grains are a little translucent.
Add all other ingredients and fry for a minute or two.
Start to add the stock, a little at a time. Each time it's nearly all absorbed, add a little more. Stir almost continuously. Vary the heat - when you put the stock in, turn the heat up a little but then put it to simmer until that bit of stock is absorbed.
Add the basil leaves about 5 minutes before the end to retain the flavour.
Once cooked to your taste, turn off the heat and leave to stand for a couple of minutes before serving.
