Mushroom And Spinach Risotto - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    4 cups Baby Spinach
    1/4 cup lemon juice
    1/2 teaspoon sea salt
    2 tablespoons olive oil
    1 onion, chopped fine
    1 cup arborio rice
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 cups mushrooms, cut into bite sized chunks
    1/2 cup white wine
    3 cups vegetable broth, kept at a simmer
Preparation
    Place the spinach in a bowl, pour the salt and lemon juice over all - then toss until every leaf is covered. Set aside.
    Heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Add the onion and stir until slightly browned, 4-6 minutes.
    Add the rice and stir until every grain is coated with oil and the rice begins to crackle slightly about 4 minutes.
    Add the garlic and mushrooms. Stir through.
    Pour the wine over all, stirring constantly until it is completely absorbed.
    Now the work begins: add the simmering vegetable broth a ladle at a time. Stir after each addition until the broth is completely absorbed. Continue in this way, not rushing, until the all the broth is incorporated into the rice - this will probably take about 20 minutes. The rice should be very slightly firm.
    Add the spinach to the risotto and heat through - 2 or 3 minutes.
    Serve immediately.
