Ingredients

    1 T butter
    1 T olive oil
    1 leek, white & light green chopped
    1 tsp dijon mustard
    1 C arborio rice
    1/2 C dry white wine
    4 C chicken stock
    1 spring onion, chopped
    1 C asparagus, blached and chopped
    1 C peas
    6 oz goat cheese, soft

Directions

To prep the asparagus: trim and rinse asparagus. Place a pot of water on the stove to boil. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Once water is boiling, drop in asparagus, and boil approx 3 minutes, then drain and place in ice water to stop the cooking process. Once cooled, chop into bite-sized pieces.

In a pot, heat chicken stock, but do not boil.

In a large saute pan, melt butter with olive oil. Add leek and cook till translucent. Add rice and allow to cook about 1 minute. Add mustard and white wine, stirring to deglaze pan and allow rice to absorb. Once wine is absorbed, add stock, about 1/2 cup at a time, stirring after each addition and allowing rice to absorb all the liquid before adding more. When rice reaches desired consistency, add onion, diced asparagus, and peas, allowing them to warm through with last amount of stock. Stir in goat cheese. Serve warm.
