Black Garlic & Spinach Risotto

I really try to follow a recipe, I really do..... I research Pinterest, find the easiest recipe (as if risotto is easy 🙄) & move along. I’ve attacked the link I started with below! I have to worn you, I use A TON of garlic, so add as your discretion!
Here is what I came up with:

1 onion (add in a shallot if you have it!) shallot chopped
4 cloves of garlic chopped
3 black garlic bulbs
2 tablespoons of EVOO

-Sauté all of those ingredients for 4-5 minutes until onions are translucent.

add in 1 1/2 cup of Arborio Rice

-Toast for 3-4 minutes

(if you have it add in 1 cup dry white wine, I didn’t have this but it still turned out great! If you add it cook on low/medium until
absorbed)

-While you’re doing all of the above, heat 7 cups of chicken, veggie or beef broth in a separate pan.

7 Cups of Warm Broth

-Here’s where the work begins, begin adding 1/2 to 1 cup of warm broth to rice mixture stirring often in between each cup & waiting until liquid is pretty much gone in between liquid.

1 Bag of spinach

-On the 6th cup, add in 1 bag of spinach and stir.

With the 7th cup you can add in any kind of cheese you’d like! I had an English cheddar and fontina I added in!

This was a ton of work, but SO worth it!

The recipe I tried to follow.....

Cheesy Lemon & Garlic Artichokes

4 Artichokes (cleaned & stems removed)
—————————--
1 Bulb of Garlic
2 Bulbs of Black Garlic
Zest from 1 lemon
Juice from 1 lemon
3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 tablespoon of butter
2 tablespoons of Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup of your choice of finely shredded cheese (I use my zester)

-Boil/Steam Artichokes for 25-35 minutes
-Drain & spread apart leaves
-Cut garlic finely & mix with all other ingredients.
-Top the artichokes with the mixture, being sure to spread the leaves apart so the mixture really gets in between the leaves.
-Cook for 20 minutes covered on 400.
-Uncover, sprinkle cheese on top & return to oven for 5-10 minutes.
