- 1 sm Fresh Red Chili, seeded and finely minced
- 4 ounce Risotto Rice

- Either chop the spinach finely using a large knife or possibly place in a food processor and process briefly to achieve a fairly coarse puree.
- Heat the oil in a large pan and gently cook the onion, garlic and chili for 4-5 min till softened but not browned. Stir in the risotto rice till well coated with the mix.
- Pour in the stock and reserved spinach liquid. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 min.
- Add in the spinach, with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 5-7 min more, till the rice is tender. Check the seasoning and serve in heated soup plates or possibly bowls, with the Percorino cheese sprinkled over.
