With Saint Patrick\u2019s day<\/a> directly around the corner, what better than to celebrate with a “green” risotto!<\/p>\n

Rather than traditional Irish recipes, you could turn to something a little healthier and brighter. Unless drinking dyed-green beer appeals to you more!<\/p>\n

In Canada we observe March 17th as a day for celebration and take it very seriously. We all get a little Irish by either attending a St. Patrick’s Day parade, grabbing a beer at a local Irish pub or eating green-colored foods. Not to mention, all the searching we do in our closets for a little (or a lot) of something green to wear to do one of those three things!<\/p>\n

This risotto happened to me, not because of Saint Patrick\u2019s day, but because I honestly love spinach. Fresh spinach. I was one of the kids in that generation where parents thought canned vegetables were still vegetables. Flashback to the 70\u2019s and 80\u2019s. Remember jello-mold salads? Okay, perhaps these were things of the 60\u2019s and already pass\u00e9, but in my house these will still being served up. So of course I love fresh spinach, compared to that greenish-grey canned slop, it\u2019s marvelous!<\/p>\n

Not only is this green risotto full of deliciously warming flavors, it\u2019s also highly nutrient-dense. Leafy green spinach and fresh herbs contain an enormous amount of vitamins and minerals. Spinach is especially high in vitamin K (more than 10 times the recommended daily amount) and vitamin A (3 times the recommended daily amount), and is loaded with manganese, folate and antioxidants. All of which help to build a strong, healthy, and disease free body.<\/p>\n

Looking for extra hearty, extra healthy? Well, this recipe can easily be made using faro or buckwheat instead of traditional Arborio rice.<\/p>\n

Spinach Herb Risotto Tips<\/h2>\n

I like to serve my risotto with jumbo tiger prawns. To serve 4, you’ll need 12-16 tiger prawns, cleaned, tails left on. Season the prawns with salt and pepper and in a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil. Saut\u00e9 prawns for about 1 minute on each side until cooked through. Drizzle with a squeeze of lemon and serve them with the risotto. Voila! <\/p>\n
