Spring Vegetable Risotto with Poached Eggs

This vibrant spring vegetable risotto with poached eggs is a celebration of seasonal greens and delicate textures. Combining the earthy sweetness of broad beans and sliced fennel with the richness of Pecorino cheese, it offers a sophisticated balance of flavours. The addition of a soft-poached egg on top creates a luxurious sauce as the golden yolk breaks into the creamy arborio rice, making it a truly comforting yet elegant meal.

As a high-protein vegetarian dish, this recipe is ideal for a nutritious midweek dinner or a relaxed weekend lunch. The use of fresh spinach and chives adds a bright, herbaceous lift, while the crème fraîche ensures a velvety finish. Serve it in warmed bowls with an extra shaving of salty cheese for a wholesome, homemade meal that feels like a restaurant-quality treat.

  • 4 dientes de ajo, finamente picados

  • 475ml arborio rice

  • 1 taza de vino blanco seco

  • 1 bunch flat-leaf spinach, trimmed, leaves torn

  • 2 cucharadas de crème fraîche o crema agria

If using fresh fava beans, cook in a large saucepan of boiling salted water 1 minute. Drain; transfer to a bowl of ice water and let cool. Peel favas and transfer to a small bowl.

Bring a large skillet of salted water to a bare simmer over medium-low heat. Add vinegar. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, then slide into simmering water. Repeat with 2 more eggs. Cook until whites are cooked but yolks are runny, about 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, carefully transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water. Repeat with remaining 3 eggs.

Bring broth to a simmer in a large saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low; cover and keep warm.

Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large, wide heavy pot over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with favas.

Heat oil and remaining 1 tablespoon butter in same pot over medium heat. Add leeks, fennel, and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 4 minutes.

Add rice and stir to coat, about 2 minutes. Add wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until evaporated, about 4 minutes. Add 240ml broth. Cook, stirring often (no need to stir constantly), until broth is almost absorbed. Add remaining broth by cupfuls, allowing broth to be absorbed before adding more, stirring often, until rice is tender but still firm to the bite and mixture is creamy, about 20 minutes total.

Add spinach, crème fraîche, 1 1/2 cups grated Pecorino, 1/4 cup chives, and reserved fava beans and mushrooms to risotto. Cook, stirring occasionally, until spinach is wilted and cheese is melted, about 2 minutes. Season risotto with salt.

A few minutes before risotto is done, reheat poached eggs in a large skillet of simmering water, about 1 minute. Divide risotto among bowls and top with eggs, shaved Pecorino, chives, and pepper.
