Arugula, also known as rocket, is an iron-rich leafy green with a sharp, peppery flavour. The more mature the arugula, the stronger the flavour. So if you love spicy, bitter greens, use fully grown arugula instead of the baby leaves and just tear it into bite-size pieces.

Ingredients
Method
In saucepan, bring broth and 1-1/2 cups water to boil; reduce heat to low and keep warm.Meanwhile, in large deep skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat; cook shallots and garlic, stirring occasionally, until shallots are softened, about 2 minutes.
Add rice, stirring to coat and toast grains, about 1 minute.
Add broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time and stirring after each addition until most of the liquid is absorbed before adding more, about 20 minutes in total. Rice should be loose and creamy, not mushy, and still slightly firm in centre of grain. Remove from heat.
Stir in arugula, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice and pepper.
