Provided by Sonja Overhiser

Categories     Main Dish

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 quart vegetable broth
1 quart water
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided
1 pound asparagus
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 lemon (Zest from half, plus 4 slices from the other half)
2 tablespoons salted butter
1/2 yellow onion
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 cups white arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine, such as Pinot Grigio or Chardonnay
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
Freshly ground black pepper
Optional garnish: Toasted pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the broth, water, and 1 teaspoon kosher salt in a saucepan and place it over low heat. (You'll use this warmed broth to stir into the risotto).
  • Mince the onion, then place it in a bowl and reserve. Cut off the tough bottom ends of the asparagus and then cut them into two-inch pieces.
  • Add the asparagus stalks to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Drizzle them with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then sprinkle on 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Add the zest of 1/2 lemon and mix with your hands. Thinly slice 2 lemon wheels from the lemon, then cut each in half and add them right on the tray.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and the 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until tender. Add the garlic powder and rice and cook, stirring occasionally, about 2 minutes until the rice starts to turn light brown. Stir in the wine and cook until the liquid is fully absorbed.
  • Place the tray with the asparagus in the oven and 10 to 15 minutes, until bright green and tender when pierced by a fork at the thickest part. The timing will depend on the thickness of the asparagus spears. (You'll remove it from the oven while you're cooking the risotto in the next step.)
  • Add two ladles of the hot broth to the risotto. Cook, stirring occasionally until the liquid is fully absorbed, then add two more ladles of both. Cook in this same manner for about 12 minutes, adding two ladles and stirring. After the 12 minutes, taste a grain of rice. If it's creamy but still al dente in the center, you're ready for the final step! If not, continue to cook and add broth for a few minutes more.
  • When the rice is al dente, reduce the heat to low. Add two more ladles of broth, the Parmesan cheese and a few grinds of black pepper. Stir vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until you've got a thick and creamy risotto. Then stir in the asparagus and roasted lemon wedges and serve immediately. Stores refrigerated in a sealed container for 3 days, though the color of the asparagus will fade (reheat before serving).

ASPARAGUS RISOTTO



Asparagus risotto image

Put asparagus centre stage in this satisfying risotto. Top with a sprinkling of parmesan for an easy midweek meal for two

Provided by Barney Desmazery

Categories     Dinner, Main course, Supper

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch asparagus (about 200g)
800ml vegetable stock
1 tbsp olive oil
25g butter
1 small onion , finely chopped
175g risotto rice
100ml white wine or vermouth (optional)
25g parmesan or vegetarian alternative, finely grated

Steps:

  • Snap the woody ends off the asparagus stalks and tip them into a saucepan with the stock. Put on a low heat to very gently simmer. Meanwhile, cut off the tips of the asparagus, add to the stock for exactly 1 min. Scoop out with a slotted spoon and set aside. Finely slice the rest of the stalks into rounds.
  • Heat the oil and half the butter in a heavy, wide pan. Cook the onions gently for 5 mins until soft, stirring often. Add the chopped asparagus stalks and cook for 2 mins more. Add the rice and continously stir for a few minutes until it turns semi-transparent and makes a hissing sound.
  • Stir in the wine, if using - it will evaporate almost immediately. Reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring between each addition until it is absorbed, about 15 mins.
  • Try the rice - it should feel just cooked with a slight bite to it. Stir in the asparagus tips and any last dregs of stock and cook for 1 or 2 mins more. Remove from the heat and top with the remaining butter and most of the parmesan. Season generously, cover and leave for a few minutes to settle.
  • Give the risotto a thorough stir to incorporate the butter and cheese and serve straight away with the remaining parmesan for sprinkling over.

RISOTTO WITH ASPARAGUS



Risotto with Asparagus image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 bunches thick asparagus (about 2 pounds)
1 sprig fresh thyme or lemon thyme
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, diced
2 cups arborio rice
Kosher salt
1/3 cup dry white wine
2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
Freshly ground pepper
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 head Bibb lettuce, cut into strips
8 ounces robiola or taleggio cheese, thinly sliced
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling

Steps:

  • Peel the bottom third of the asparagus stalks with a vegetable peeler. Snap each stalk where it breaks naturally; reserve 4 of the peeled bottoms for crostini (below). Thinly slice 6 asparagus bottoms and place the rest of the bottoms in a saucepan with 8 cups water and the thyme to make asparagus broth; bring to a simmer.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallot and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until glossy, about 1 minute. Add 1 1/4 teaspoons salt. Pour in the wine and stir until absorbed. Stir in 1/2 cup of the asparagus broth until absorbed (use a ladle to add the broth, keeping the solids in the pan). Continue to add broth in 1/2-cup increments, stirring constantly and allowing the liquid to be absorbed before adding more, about 10 minutes. (You should have about half the broth left.) Stir in the sliced asparagus bottoms and the lemon zest. Add the remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, until the rice is just tender, 5 to 8 more minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the asparagus tips in a large skillet, cover with water and season with salt and pepper. Simmer over medium-high heat until just tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter, the parmesan and lemon juice to the risotto. Stir in the lettuce, remove from the heat and season with salt. Divide among bowls, top with the robiola and season with pepper. Drizzle the asparagus tips with olive oil and spoon over the risotto.

AVOCADO AND WALNUT RISOTTO



Avocado and Walnut Risotto image

Goes very well with a crisp mixed salad. Lovely vegetarian Risotto that can be adapted to vegan without much difficulty. Very easy and simple to make. Variation on other Risottos I've made in the past, wasn't sure if avocado would work, but it goes very well.

Categories     Rice

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
25 g butter
1 large chopped onion
3 cloves crushed garlic
425 g risotto rice
1 7/8 liters vegetable stock
150 ml white wine
25 g grated parmesan cheese
2 ripe avocados
50 g chopped walnuts (, can substitue pine nuts)

Steps:

  • Vegan: omit butter (double the olive oil) and use a vegan seasoning like Parmazano instead of the cheese.
  • Use a large heavy bottomed saucepan for this.
  • Heat the olive oil and fry the chopped onion over a medium heat until it goes transparent.
  • You don't want it to crisp at the edges if you can help it.
  • While the onion cooks, bring the vegetable stock to the boil in another pan and leave over a low heat.
  • Add the crushed garlic cloves and the risotto rice and stir constantly for 2-3 minutes or until each rice grain has been coated with oil.
  • Beware of sticking- do NOT stop stirring!
  • Pour the white wine onto the rice, and cook over a moderate heat, stirring constantly again- the liquid will evaporate and the rice will begin to soak up the rest.
  • Once the wine has evaporated, ladle enough stock into the pan to just cover the rice, and cook, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add more stock as before, and continue for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender.
  • Note: If you find you use all the stock and the rice is not yet cooked, add boiling water where you would have used stock.
  • Just before the rice is ready, stir in the Parmesan, and then gently mix in the avocados and walnuts or pine nuts.
  • Scatter over any remaining Parmesan, and serve!

WALNUT RISOTTO WITH ROASTED ASPARAGUS



Walnut Risotto With Roasted Asparagus image

Here's a delicious recipe. The creamy risotto and roasted aparagus together make a wonderful, flavorful dish. I would recommend using arborio rice to make risotto. Another option is to cut the asparagus into bite size pieces (after roasting) and fold them into the risotto at the end.

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 1/2-5 cups canned low sodium chicken broth
