Heat the oil in a shallow heavy based pan.

Step 2

Add the shallots and garlic and fry gently for 3-4 minutes until soft.

Step 3

Add the rice and fry for 1 minute, stirring continuously.

Step 4

Add a ladleful of hot stock, stirring over a medium heat until almost all absorbed.

Step 5

Continue adding stock and allowing it to be absorbed until rice is cooked and approximately 1/6th stock remains.

Once the rice is cooked but still retains a bit of bite, take the pan off the heat.

Step 8

Pour this mixture into the pan with the risotto and set back over a gentle heat until soft.

Stir in the remaining spinach and peas, and cook for a further minute.

Step 10

Season with salt, pepper, and parmesan if desired, and serve.
