Steps:
- Melt the butter and oil in a large pan. Add the sliced leek and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the leek is tender. Add the rice and continue to stir for one minute.
- Add the liquid stock, the water and cream. Mix to combine.
- Bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in asparagus, spinach leaves, parmesan and parsley. Remove from the heat and stir in the eggs.
- Spoon in 1/2 of the rice mixture into a greased 12 cup ovenproof dish. Arrange the bocconcini over the rice. Top with the remaining mixture. Sprinkle over the tasty cheese. I use a lasagne dish to make this recipe.
- Cook uncovered 180 degrees celcius for 25 minutes or until the rice is tender.
- Stand at least 10 minutes before serving. The slice cuts better the longer that it is left.

Steps:
- Spray the asparagus lightly with an olive oil spray and stick the in the oven at 400°F/190°C with a few thinly sliced garlic cloves for about 5 minutes.
- To assemble: place asparagus on a plate, scatter bocconcini and olives on top and sprinkle combined oil and vinegar dressing over.
- If you like you may add a few leaves of roughly chopped fresh basil leaves as an added garnish.
- Serve either at room temp or refrigerate till serving time.
Tips:
- Choose the right asparagus: Look for asparagus spears that are bright green, firm, and have tight tips. Avoid spears that are limp, wilted, or have brown spots.
- Prepare the asparagus properly: Wash the asparagus spears thoroughly and trim the tough ends. If the spears are thick, you can peel the bottom inch or two to remove the tough outer layer.
- Cook the asparagus to your liking: Asparagus can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, roasting, and grilling. The cooking time will vary depending on the method you choose, but you want the asparagus to be tender but still slightly crunchy.
- Don't overcook the asparagus: Overcooked asparagus will become limp and mushy. Err on the side of undercooking and then cook the asparagus for a few more minutes if necessary.
- Serve the asparagus immediately: Asparagus is best served fresh out of the oven or off the grill. If you need to make it ahead of time, you can cook it and then reheat it gently before serving.
Conclusion:
Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. With its bright green color and slightly crunchy texture, asparagus is a welcome addition to any meal. Whether you're roasting it, grilling it, or simply boiling it, asparagus is a healthy and flavorful choice that will please everyone at the table.
