Steps:

  • Melt margarine in large pan and add the shallots, onions, and garlic, coating them well and sweating them on a low heat for about 1-2 minutes
  • add the arborio rice stirring well ensuring all the grains are well coated. Add more margarine if necessary.
  • Keep on a low heat and keep stirring until the rice starts to turn translucent (can take about 15 minutes).
  • Add a small quantity of wine at a time and it will quickly be absorbed as you keep stirring. Continue until all the wine has been added and absorbed.
  • Next do the same with the half of the stock, just gradually add a little at a time and add more until it has been absorbed. Now add the ground pepper and a little salt, then the asparagus
  • Start adding the remainder of the stock, the peas and the 3/4 of the grated parmesan, stirring continually.
  • Keep stirring until all the stock has been absorbed. The risotto should have a creamy consistency, with the rice and vegetables cooked 'al dente'.
  • If more cooking is required, just add a little more stock and keep stirring.
  • Serve right away, garnished with the remainder of the grated parmesan and a few sprigs of parsley.
  • Serve up with a nice glass of chilled white wine.
