Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 1 ½ cups Arborio rice

  • 1 small onion, finely chopped

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 4 cups vegetable broth, kept warm

  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • Zest of 1 lemon (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.

  2. Add onion and garlic; sauté until translucent, about 3–4 minutes.

  3. Stir in Arborio rice and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly toasted.

  4. Pour in white wine and cook until mostly absorbed.
