What You’ll Need

  • 1 cup Arborio rice
  • 1 bunch of asparagus
  • 4 cups of vegetable broth
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • ½ cup of dry white wine
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Prep the Asparagus

Start by washing the asparagus thoroughly and trimming off the tough ends. Cut the asparagus into small pieces, discarding any woody parts. Set aside.

Step 2: Sauté the Onion and Garlic

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until they become translucent and fragrant. This should take about 2-3 minutes.

Step 3: Cook the Asparagus

Add the asparagus to the skillet with the onion and garlic, stirring occasionally. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the asparagus becomes tender but still retains some crunch. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Prepare the Risotto

In a separate pot, heat the vegetable broth over low heat and keep it warm.

Meanwhile, in the same skillet used for sautéing the onion and garlic, add the Arborio rice. Stir the rice constantly for about 2 minutes until it becomes slightly translucent.

Next, pour in the white wine and continue stirring until the liquid is absorbed by the rice.

Step 5: Add the Broth

Now comes the time-consuming but worthwhile part of making risotto – adding the broth. Start by adding a ladleful of warm vegetable broth to the rice. Stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed.

Continue adding the broth, one ladleful at a time, allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding more. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked and has a creamy consistency. This should take about 20-25 minutes.

Step 6: Add the Asparagus and Parmesan

Once the rice is cooked to perfection, stir in the cooked asparagus and grated Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook for an additional 2 minutes until the asparagus is heated through.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy

Transfer the asparagus risotto to serving plates or bowls. You can garnish it with additional grated Parmesan or chopped parsley for extra flavor. Serve hot and enjoy the taste of Italy!

Now that you have mastered the art of making asparagus risotto, you can confidently add it to your culinary repertoire. This classic Italian dish is sure to impress your taste buds and leave you craving for more! Bon appétit!
