Nutrition tips:
- Spinach contains large amount of iron, vitamin K and antioxidants. It is better to add the spinach lastly so as to retin more nutrients.
- Cheese and butter are the main ingredients in traditional risotto recipe. We use mushrooms and herbs instead to bring out the flavor and texture, which is much healthier.
