This risotto is really special: quinoa instead of rice transforms this classic Italian dish into a surprisingly nutty gourmet treat. The blend of prunes and spicy Gorgonzola rounds off the dish.
300 g quinoa
1 large onion (125 g)
2 cloves of garlic
750–800 ml vegetable stock
30 g butter
300 g ready-to-use baby spinach
150–175 g Sunsweet prunes
100–125 g Gorgonzola
Freshly ground black pepper
Optional:
Grated lemon rind
30–40 g walnuts
Tip: spinach quinoa risotto tastes good as a side dish with roast pork or chicken breasts.
