Cooking Directions

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat.  Add peas, spinach and mint and sauté until spinach wilts, about 2 minutes.  Remove to bowl of food processor and pulse briefly until coarsely chopped.

In same saucepan, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat.  Add garlic and onion and sauté until onion becomes translucent, about 1 minute.  Add rice and stir to coat grains.  Add wine and stir until absorbed.  Add chicken stock and bring to a boil; cover and reduce heat to low.  Simmer 20 minutes.
