If you love risotto this cheap and cheerful spinach risotto cake will bring you joy. It's a simple vegetarian dish that's low in sodium and can easily be made gluten free.
1 Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a 20cm cake tin with baking paper.
2 Heat oil in a large saucepan. Add onion. Gently fry for 5 minutes until soft. Pour in wine and allow to bubble and evaporate. Add rice and stock. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until all liquid has absorbed and rice is sticky. Remove from heat.
3 Stir in lemon zest, pesto and pepper. Leave to cool for 10 minutes.
4 Once cool, mix in eggs, spinach and half the parmesan. Spoon mixture into prepared tin. Level with a spatula and sprinkle with remaining parmesan.
5 Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden and firm to touch. Garnish with fresh basil. Serve in wedges.

To reduce cooking time, use partly-cooked rice, available in pouches from supermarkets. If you’re using regular uncooked rice you may need to increase the stock by 1/2 – 1 cup.

1 cup of stock wasn’t enough to even begin to cook the rice so the result was tasty but dry. I will try it again but with more liquid and longer initial cooking time for the rice.
