Ingredients

4

4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • 4 cups boiling vegetable broth
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 1 medium leek, chopped
  • 1 fresh red chile pepper, chopped
  • 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 0.5 pound small scallops
  • 1 (14 ounce) bag fresh spinach leaves
  • 0.5 red bell pepper, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large, heavy bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Pour in the rice, and stir until the rice is coated in oil and has started to toast, 2 to 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in one-third of the boiling vegetable broth; continue stirring until incorporated. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Incorporating the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.
  • While you are cooking the rice, heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a pan. Stir in the garlic, leeks, red chili, shrimp, and scallops. Cook until the seafood is just beginning to turn color. Add the red bell pepper and spinach; cook until the seafood is opaque. Combine with the rice, and season to taste with pepper.
