sorry link doesnt work!

Serves 4

Around 1.5 l (about 2 pints) vegetable or chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1 medium onion, diced
350 g (12 oz) Arborio (risotto) rice
120 ml white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or 1 tablespoon dried
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil, or 1 tablespoon dried
2 to 3 medium beetroots, peeled and grated
2 to 3 handfuls dark greens ? like beet greens, kale, spinach or chard ? finely chopped
Salt and pepper to taste
Grated peel and juice of 1 lemon
1 handful freshly grated Parmesan cheese, to serve

Bring the stock to a simmer. Heat the butter in a separate wide pan over medium heat; add the onion, and sauté for 3 minutes. Add the rice, stir to coat well, cook for 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer until it?s absorbed, then stir in the parsley, basil, and the beets. Add 500ml stock, cover, and simmer until the stock is absorbed. Begin adding the remaining stock a ladle at a time, stirring constantly until each addition is absorbed before adding the next, until the rice is tender. Before the last ladle, add the beet greens or spinach. Season with salt and pepper, then stir in the lemon peel and juice. Top with parmesan.

i like ones with lots of veg like leeks or broc, plus something to jazz up eg tiny cubes of chorizo

good stock, bit of wine

plenty cream/cheese

I shove peas in sometimes

mine are soooooo fussy I have given up and just serve something and suffer the consequences tbh

pain in the arse, I hate mealtimes

if one likes it, the other doesn't "but IIIIIII DONT LIKE PEAS WAHHHHHH"
