Ingredients Method

Ingredients

  

• 400 gr Rice for risottos
• 1 bunch Asparagus wild
• 100 cl Broth
• 2 tablespoons Olive Oil extra virgin
• 30 g Butter
• 1 piece Onion
• 1/2 glass White wine dry
• q.b. Salt

Method

 

1. Wash the asparagus and soak them in water for a few minutes to remove any dirt.
   
2. Remove the woody part of the stalk and slice them thinly, leaving the tips longer.
3. Finely chop the onion and gently sauté it in a saucepan with oil or butter (for a creamier risotto).
4. Before it colors, add the asparagus pieces, setting aside the tips, which will be added halfway through cooking.
5. Add salt, then cover the saucepan and cook for about ten minutes, stirring often and adding a couple of tablespoons of hot water if needed.
6. Add the rice and, stirring constantly, let it toast for a few minutes, then when it starts to stick, deglaze with wine.
7. Once the wine has evaporated, start adding the broth, one ladle at a time, making sure to stir constantly with a wooden spatula.
   
8. When cooked, the rice should be quite soft.
   
9. Stir in butter and cheese, then let rest for a minute before serving.
