Time 1h

Yield 10-12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

40 g butter
1 tablespoon oil
1 large leek, thinly sliced
1 garlic clove, crushed
2 cups arborio rice
1 liter vegetable stock
1 cup water
1/2 cup cream
2 bunches asparagus, coarsely chopped (can use one bunch)
100 g baby spinach leaves
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
180 g baby bocconcini, drained (or use chopped larger bocconcini pieces)
1/2 cup tasty cheese, grated

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.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch fresh asparagus
4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
4 -6 bocconcini (small balls of fresh mozzarella)
1/2 cup kalamata olive
4 tablespoons virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon vinegar (balsamic would be nice)

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.

  • 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 spears that are firm and have tightly closed tips. Avoid spears that are limp or have woody ends.
  • Trim the asparagus properly. Cut off the tough ends of the asparagus, about 1 inch from the bottom. You can also peel the asparagus if desired, but this is not necessary.
  • Cook the asparagus quickly. Asparagus is a delicate vegetable that can easily overcook. Blanch the asparagus in boiling water for 2-3 minutes, or until it is tender-crisp. You can also roast or grill the asparagus, but be careful not to overcook it.
  • Use fresh ingredients. Fresh herbs, such as basil, parsley, and thyme, will add a lot of flavor to your asparagus dish. Fresh lemon juice and zest are also great additions.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment. There are many different ways to cook asparagus. Try different recipes and find the ones that you like the best.

Conclusion:

Asparagus is a delicious and versatile vegetable that can be enjoyed in many different ways. Whether you are looking for a simple side dish or a more elaborate main course, there is an asparagus recipe out there for you.
