Cooking Steps
Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F. Wash and dry all produce. Combine 4 1/2 cups water (5 1/2 cups for 4 ppl) and broth concentrates in a medium pot. Cover and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat. While broth comes to a boil, peel, then mince or grate the garlic. Roughly chop spinach. Thinly slice mushrooms.
Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 3 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then onions, leeks and mushrooms. Season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 2-3 min. Add rice, garlic and vinegar. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1-2 min.
Add 1 cup broth from the medium pot to the pan with rice. Stir until broth has been absorbed by rice. Continue adding broth, 1 cup at a time, stirring regularly, until liquid is absorbed, the texture is creamy and rice is tender, 28-30 min.
While risotto cooks, add tomatoes and 1 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl) to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat. Roast in the middle of the oven until tomatoes start to burst, 10-11 min. (TIP: Keep your eye on them so they don't burn!)
When the last cup of broth has been absorbed and rice is tender and creamy, add Parmesan and spinach to risotto. Stir until spinach wilts, 3-4 min. Stir in roasted tomatoes, then season with salt and pepper.
Divide risotto between bowls. Sprinkle walnuts over top.
