Instructions to make Leek and broccoli spelt risotto - vegan:
  1. For the risotto: in a pan, heat the oil and then sauté the onion and garlic and thyme on a low heat for about 10 mins until translucent. Add the spelt and stir for about 1 minute. Start adding the stock about 100ml at a time. The spelt takes about 25mins to cook - it should be tender but still with a bite. You don’t need to stir all the time.
  2. For the leeks: In another pan, heat the oil on a low- medium heat. Add the leeks. Put a lid on the pan and cook the leeks for about 10 mins until soft. Stir occasionally. When they are ready, squeeze the lemon juice over them.
  3. Meanwhile, steam the broccoli.
  4. Season the risotto and fold the leeks and broccoli through. Taste for seasoning and lemon - add more if needed. Stir some (veggie/ vegan) parmesan through if you have any. Enjoy 😋

Season with salt, and bring to a boil for a few minutes on high heat until the broccoli stem is just easily pierced. Add the spelt, coat in the oil, stir in the wine and cook until reduced by half. Pour in the wine and keep stirring until it is absorbed. I picked leek and tenderstem broccoli as my base veggies for this recipe.
