Description

A simple and satisfying Meat-Free meal featuring courgette, spinach, and chives for a light yet creamy risotto. This one-pot dish is naturally gluten-free and FODMAP-friendly, with just the right amount of cheesiness thanks to lactose-free Parmesan.

Ingredients
  • 200 g arborio rice
  • 2 tbsp garlic-infused olive oil
  • 750 ml Low FODMAP vegetable stock (warm)
  • 150 g courgette (diced)
  • 4 spring onion (green leaves only)
  • 100 g spinach (chopped)
  • 30 g lactose-free Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice ((half lemon))
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
  • 75 ml dry vermouth or white wine (optional)
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
  1. 1
    Warm the vegetable stock in a small pot over low heat.
  2. 2
    Chop the courgette, spring onion and spinach and grate the Parmesan cheese.
  3. 3
    In a large pan, heat the garlic-infused olive oil over medium heat.
  4. 4
    Add the courgette and spring onion and sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened.
  5. 5
    If using vermouth or white wine, pour it in and stir for 1–2 minutes until it reduces slightly.

  8. 8
    Toast for 1–2 minutes until the edges of the rice become translucent.
  9. 9
    Add 1/2 cup (120ml) of stock and stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed.
  10. 10
    Continue adding stock in small amounts, stirring regularly, until the rice is tender and creamy (this will take about 15–18 minutes).
  11. 11
    Stir in the spinach and cook for 2 minutes until wilted.
  12. 12
    Add the Parmesan, lemon juice, salt, and pepper and mix well.

Why Add Vermouth ?

Vermouth adds a subtle herbal note and enhances the overall depth of flavor.

The alcohol will evaporate during cooking, leaving just the complex aroma and taste.
