Step 1
Heat 3 tbsp of oil in a frying pan and add the onion and celery with a little salt. Fry for 5 minutes until translucent. Add the risotto rice and stir well, ensuring every grain is coated in oil. Pour in the wine and let it bubble until it’s almost all evaporated. Add the stock a ladleful at a time, stirring constantly, adding more stock only once the last ladleful has been absorbed.

In a food processor add the spinach and 2 tbsp of hot water and whizz to a purée. Once the rice is almost cooked, stir through the purée, broad beans and peas. Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring regularly.
