Base: Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic, cooking until a bit soft (about 3 minutes). Add dry rice and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice is slightly opaque on the outside but uncooked on the inside.
Liquids: Add wine to the pot and simmer until absorbed. Slowly add the vegetable broth to the pan, adding ½ cup at a time. Wait until broth has almost completely absorbed before adding another ½ cup. Begin tasting the rice after 15 minutes or so. Once it is al dente (a little bit chewy), stop adding broth (you may not need the full amount).
Add-Ins: Stir in parmesan, gorgonzola, and butter until melted. Stir in green onions, bell pepper, and spinach. Taste and add pepper and lemon juice to suit your taste.
