Ingredients
150g cavolo nero washed and roughly chopped
4 tbsp olive oil
50g of parmesan
1 garlic clove peeled
150g spelt
1 brown onion diced
2 garlic cloves (1 whole and 1 finely chopped)
1L vegetable (or chicken) stock
200ml white wine
2 generous handfuls of spinach
Crunchy Savoury Seeds:
200g mixed seeds
2 sprigs of rosemary, leaves picked and finely chopped
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp honey
1 tbsp olive oil
a pinch of dried chilli flakes
Method
1. Bring a large pan of water to the boil. Quickly boil your cavolo nero for 2 minutes, before scooping out and placing it in a blender.
2. Allow to cool slightly as you add your garlic clove, 2 tbsp of olive oil and the grated parmesan to the blender, before blending to a paste.
3. Set aside the blended greens while you start on your risotto. Place a large pan over medium heat and soften your onion and remaining garlic in 2 tbsp of olive oil. Stir your spelt in before adding your white wine. Slowly add your stock while continuing to stir. This will take around 20-25 minutes to cook, when ready it will taste nutty and still have a lovely bite to it.
4. To make your crunchy seed topping, preheat your oven to 170°C (fan), and line a baking sheet with baking paper. Mix all the ingredients together in a small bowl then transfer to the lined baking sheet and spread evenly. Pop in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and toasted. Store in an airtight container.
5. When your risotto is ready, stir through your blended greens followed by your spinach. Cook for a few minutes before turning off the heat. Serve with a generous dollop of our Greek Recipe yogurt.
Tip: if you're short on time, the seeds aren't essential, but they can be prepped ahead and stored in an airtight container for up to a month. They also make a delicious snack!
