Time 20m

Yield 4 first-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium onion chopped fine
2 small carrots, diced
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup Arborio rice
Pinch saffron
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 1/2 cups chicken stock, hot
1 cup peeled fresh fava beans, or peas
8 small asparagus spears, cut in 1-inch pieces on the diagonal
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • In a large frying pan, soften the onion with the carrots in one tablespoon butter. Add the rice and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes until the rice is well coated with butter and starts to turn opaque. Add the saffron and wine and stir thoroughly.
  • Add a cup of hot chicken stock and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Add one-half cup more stock and continue cooking, stirring frequently.
  • Add the fava beans and asparagus and another cup of stock. Continue cooking and adding stock until the rice is al dente. It is done when it is firm but tender and creamy. The vegetables should be barely tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in the cheese and remaining butter. Serve immediately.

I found this recipe to be a bit too time-consuming. It took me over an hour to make, and I'm not sure it was worth the effort. The risotto was good, but not great.

This risotto was a bit too bland for my taste. I think it needed more salt and pepper, and maybe some additional herbs or spices. The texture was also a bit too mushy for my liking.
