1 tablespoon olive oil

How to Make Vegan Spinach Risotto

STEP ONE: Into a medium saucepan over medium heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add onions.

Sauté the onions for 3 minutes, until softened. Add the garlic and continue cooking for an additional 1 minute.

STEP TWO: Add the rice then stir to fully coat with oil.

STEP THREE: Pour in the wine and stir continuously, until all the wine is absorbed by the rice, about 3 minutes.

STEP FOUR: 1/2 cup at a time, add the vegetable broth stirring until the liquid is absorbed between each addition. Allow for 3-5 minutes between each 1/2 cup of vegetable broth.

STEP FIVE: Once all the broth is absorbed, stir in the chopped spinach. Reduce heat to low and continue stirring occasionally until spinach is wilted.

STEP SIX: Remove from heat then stir in the crumbled feta cheese then serve hot.
