Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil

2 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
3 cups vegetable stock
1 bunch swiss chard
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

Heat the olive oil in a large pan.
Add the leek and garlic and cook, stirring, until the leek is soft.
Add the rice and stir until the rice is coated in oil.
Add the vegetable stock and simmer, covered with a tight-fitting lid, over low heat for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and let stand, covered, for 5 minutes.
While the rice is cooking, remove the Swiss chard leaves from their stalks; discard the stalks.
Slice the leaves thinly and wash well.
Place the Swiss chard in a separate pan and simmer, covered, until limp, about 5 minutes.
Drain.
