Method
- Preheat the oven to gas mark 6, 200°C, fan 180°C. Line the base of a 20cm (8in) springform cake tin with nonstick baking paper and brush the sides with a little oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the risotto rice in boiling salted water for 10 minutes, and drain. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil over a medium heat in a large, heavy-based frying pan. Cook the onions and garlic until soft. Add the spinach and cook, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, until wilted. Cool, then add the rice, eggs, cream and rosemary. Season, then stir in 100g (3 1⁄2 oz) Gruyère. Season again.
- Spread the mixture into the cake tin and sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the winter salad; combine the cabbage, watercress, apple and walnut pieces in a large bowl. Mix the balsamic vinegar and olive oil well and pour over the salad.
- Allow the risotto cake to cool slightly in the tin, then turn out, slice into wedges and serve with salad.
