Time 45m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups vegetable broth
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 cup uncooked Arborio or medium-grain white rice
1/2 teaspoon saffron threads or 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 can (15 to 16 oz) cannellini beans, drained, rinsed
1 box (9 oz) frozen spinach, thawed, squeezed to drain
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In 2-quart saucepan, heat broth over medium heat.
  • Meanwhile, in 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic; cook, stirring frequently, until onion is crisp-tender.
  • Stir in rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice begins to brown.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Pour 1/2 cup of the hot broth and the saffron over rice mixture. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, until broth is absorbed. Continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and stirring frequently, until rice is almost tender and mixture is creamy. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in beans and spinach. Sprinkle with cheese. Cover; let stand 5 minutes.
