Instructions
- Read through the entire recipe before getting started. Wash and dry produce. Medium dice onions and mince garlic. Drain and rinse beans.
- Dump broth into a stock pot and heat over medium heat until just simmering. Turn to low. Keep warm in the background to use when you make the risotto.
- Heat a sauté pan over medium-high heat and add 1 Tbsp. olive oil until shimmering. Add onion and sauté until translucent. Add 2 cloves minced garlic and Arborio rice, sautéing until rice starts to turn translucent, about 1-2 minutes. Add vinegar and simmer until totally absorbed. Slowly add broth, about 1 cup at a time, and continuously stir until broth is absorbed. Continue cooking until rice is al dente, about 18-20 minutes. Stir in parmesan cheese and white beans and cook for another 1-2 minutes to heat through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While risotto is cooking, heat another Tbsp. of olive oil over medium heat in another sauté pan or pot. Add greens, 3 minced garlic cloves, 1/4 cup water, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Sauté until greens are wilted and garlic is fragrant, about 6-8 minutes.
- Spoon risotto into bowls and top with cooked greens. Serve with extra parmesan cheese if you'd like. Enjoy!
