Brown Rice Risotto with Peas, Spinach, and Basil
In large saucepan sauté 1 chopped sweet onion in 3 tablespoons of olive oil for about 5 minutes. Add in 2 cloves of minced garlic and 1 cup of short grain brown rice. Cook for about another 5 minutes or so. Add in ¼ cup pf apple juice and cook for another 5 minutes again reducing (instead of white wine this works great!) Gradually add in 3 ½- 4 cups of vegetable or chicken broth (warmed works best) and cook until rice is tender (about 50 minutes) and liquid is absorbing (there will still be some liquid which is needed for the spinach and peas) Add in 3 cups or so of baby spinach, 1 cup of thawed frozen peas and cook until spinach is wilted and the peas are hot. Now just add in a squeeze of lemon juice, a cup of fresh chopped basil, 2 tablespoons if GHEE or pasture butter, ½ teaspoon sea salt and sprinkle with Pecorino Romano Cheese. Stir well and make sure everything is mixed well and hot. Adjust seasonings as needed. You may need more salt and pepper as well. Serves 4! Enjoy : )
