Ingredients
-
1 dash Pepper, black
1 dash Salt
2 clove Garlic
1 medium (2-1/2" dia) Onions, raw
4 medium (4-1/8" long) Scallions, raw
0.25 cup Peas, frozen
2.60 fl oz White Wine
6 cup Vegetable Broth
4 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 cup Aborio Rice
1/4 cup fresh Parmesean Cheese, grated
40 spear, medium (5-1/4" to 7" long) Asparagus, fresh
Tips
The gradual addition of hot liquid is the key to getting the rice to release its starch, yielding the creamiest risotto. Finish with fresh lemon zest to enhance and brighten the seasonal flavors.
Directions
1. Heat the broth over low heat.
2. Over medium heat, saute' the onion in olive oil, until translucent. Add the garlic. Continue stirring for another minute. Add the rice, stirring until the grains become translucent. Add the white wine.
3.Once wine is absorbed, add a cup of the warm broth, continually stirring. As the rice absorbs the broth, continue adding a cup of broth at a time, constanly stirring until the rice is al dente (aprox 30 minutes).
4. Incorporate the 1/4 cup of parmesean cheese, scallions, asparagus, peas, salt & pepper to taste. Stir for 1 to 2 minutes until the green tops of the scallions are wilted, and the asparagus & peas are cooked, yet still crisp.
5. Trasfer to individual bowls or one large serving dish. You may garnish with shavings of fresh parmiguano cheese and drizzle with your favorite extra virgin olive oil (both garnish items are not calculated in the nutritional profile). Serve immediately.
