Ingredients

  • •6 cups chicken broth, preferably bouillon-based
  • •1 small onion, sliced lengthwise
  • •3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • •3 tablespoons olive oil
  • •2 cups arborio rice
  • •1/2 cup dry white wine

Directions

  1. Bring the chicken broth to a boil in a saucepan, lower the flame and keep to the side. In a large wok, sauté the onion and garlic in the olive oil until golden, then add the rice and make sure it is completely coated in the oil. Cook for 3 minutes and then add the white wine, again making sure it’s coated.

  2. After, add ½ cup of broth at a time into the rice until it is completely absorbed and cooked al dente, reserving 1 cup of broth. Add in the kale and the spinach and cover with lid. After 3 minutes, add the arugula and the peas. Pour the remaining cup of broth, sprinkle a layer of Parmesan on top, no more then ½ cup, and cover with lid. After 4-5 minutes, remove lid and serve, adding Parmesan, salt, and pepper to taste.
