ASPARAGUS RISOTTO

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 high-quality ingredients. This means using fresh, seasonal asparagus, a flavorful Parmesan cheese, and a good-quality risotto rice.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan. When you add the rice to the pan, make sure it is spread out in an even layer. This will help the rice cook evenly.
  • Stir the risotto frequently. This will help the rice release its starch and create a creamy sauce.
  • Add the liquid in small increments. This will help the rice absorb the liquid evenly and prevent the risotto from becoming too soupy.
  • Cook the risotto until it is al dente. This means that the rice should be tender but still have a slight bite to it.
  • Stir in the Parmesan cheese and butter. This will add richness and creaminess to the risotto.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best enjoyed when it is freshly made.

Conclusion:

Parma ham and asparagus risotto is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. This recipe from AliceRecipes.com is a great place to start, but feel free to experiment with different ingredients and flavors. With a little practice, you'll be making perfect risotto in no time.
