Risotto is a great base for all kinds of vegetables. It's done when it has a loose consistency and ripples when spooned into a bowl.

Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound/500 g asparagus
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 liter/4 cups chicken stock
3 tablespoons butter
1 little onion, minced
1 shallot, minced, optional
1 cup/250 g risotto
1/2/125 dry white wine
Zest of 1 lemon
1/3 cup/40 g grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • For the asparagus: Cut off the asparagus tops and reserve. Chop the stems into pieces, discarding the woody bits. (If the stems are really thick and tough looking, peel them first.) Heat the oil and butter in a saute pan. Add the stem pieces and cook 5 minutes. Add the garlic and then the asparagus tips. Pour over 1/4 cup/60 ml water, season with salt and pepper and cook until tender, 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the asparagus.

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a saucepan and cook the onions and shallots until soft, stirring with a wooden spoon. Add the rice and stir until translucent, about 4 minutes. Stir in the wine and reduce until almost dry. Add a ladle of stock and cook, stirring, until it disappears. Continue one ladle at a time, until the rice is tender and creamy, about 30 minutes. To serve: Remove from the heat and stir through the asparagus, remaining tablespoon of butter, lemon zest and half the cheese. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Spoon the risotto into bowls and scatter over the remaining cheese.

ASPARAGUS RISOTTO



Asparagus risotto image

Put asparagus centre stage in this satisfying risotto. Top with a sprinkling of parmesan for an easy midweek meal for two

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch asparagus (about 200g)
800ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
25g butter
1 small onion , finely chopped
175g risotto rice
100ml white wine or vermouth (optional)
25g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, finely grated

Steps:

  • Snap the woody ends off the asparagus stalks and tip them into a saucepan with the stock. Put on a low heat to very gently simmer. Meanwhile, cut off the tips of the asparagus, add to the stock for exactly 1 min. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Finely slice the rest of the stalks into rounds.
  • Heat the oil and half the butter in a heavy, wide pan. Cook the onions gently for 5 mins until soft, stirring often. Add the chopped asparagus stalks and cook for 2 mins more. Add the rice and continously stir for a few minutes until it turns semi-transparent and makes a hissing sound.
  • Stir in the wine, if using - it will evaporate almost immediately. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring between each addition until it is absorbed, about 15 mins.
  • Try the rice - it should feel just cooked with a slight bite to it. Stir in the asparagus tips and any last dregs of stock and cook for 1 or 2 mins more. Remove from the heat and top with the remaining butter and most of the parmesan. Season generously, cover and leave for a few minutes to settle.
  • Give the risotto a thorough stir to incorporate the butter and cheese and serve straight away with the remaining parmesan for sprinkling over.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the asparagus. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Add the rice to the pan in a slow, steady stream, stirring constantly. This will help prevent the rice from clumping.
  • Cook the risotto over medium heat, stirring constantly. This will help the rice to absorb the liquid and cook evenly.
  • Add the stock to the risotto in small increments, allowing the rice to absorb each addition before adding more. This will help the risotto to develop a creamy texture.
  • Once the risotto is cooked, remove it from the heat and stir in the butter, Parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. This will add a rich, creamy flavor to the risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately, garnished with fresh thyme and additional Parmesan cheese.

Conclusion:

Asparagus risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a special occasion or a casual weeknight meal. With its creamy texture, fresh asparagus flavor, and bright lemon notes, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table.
