This risotto we’ve made on the loose side, which is why we are serving it in a bowl. When making risotto you get to decide how loose you want it. Just stop adding liquid when the risotto gets to the consistency you like!

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat the stock: Heat the stock in a small saucepan until it comes to a low simmer.

2. Cook shallots in butter to soften, then add rice: In a separate 3 or 4 quart saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon butter on medium heat. Add the shallots and cook for a minute or two, until translucent. Add the arborio rice and cook for 2 minutes more, stirring until nicely coated.

3. Add the white wine: Add the white wine. Slowly stir, allowing the rice to absorb the wine.

4. Add the stock, 1/2 cup at a time, adding only after the previous addition has been absorbed by the rice: Once the wine is almost completely absorbed, add 1/2 cup of hot stock to the rice. Continue to stir until the liquid is almost completely absorbed, adding more stock in 1/2 cup increments. Stir often to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan.

Continue cooking and stirring rice, adding a little bit of broth at a time, cooking and stirring until it is absorbed, until the rice is tender, but still firm to the bite, about 20-25 minutes.

5. Add the asparagus: With the last ladle of stock, add the asparagus. Turn off theNote the stock amount given is approximate. You may need a little more or less. If you end up needing more stock and you find yourself without, just use water.

6. Stir in the Parmesan, remaining butter, add salt, pepper: Gently stir in the Parmesan cheese and the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
