Time 45m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup arborio rice (risotto)
3/4 cup frozen spinach
3 medium eggs
1 medium onion
4 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 pinch nutmeg

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to gas mark 6, 200ºC, 400ºF.
  • Defrost the spinach and squeeze as much liquid out of it as possible.
  • Boil the rice in salted water until 'al dente'.
  • Fry the onion in the olive oil until soft and golden.
  • Break the eggs into a cup and beat lightly.
  • Put the rice in a large bowl and add the Parmesan, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • Add the spinach, onion and butter, followed by the eggs.
  • Mix everything together thoroughly.
  • Grease an ovenproof dish. Make sure it's not too big - the mixture should be three inches or so deep.
  • Bake for about 25 minutes, until firm and golden brown.
