Warm a small saucepan of chicken stock on the hob.
In a large frying pan soften a chopped onion in olive oil.
Add a cup full of risotto rice and stir around
to coat the rice.
Add half a glass of white wine raise the heat and cook off the alcohol - season.
Adjust the heat and ladle in a small amount of the warm stock, stirring the rice to let it absorb the stock. Keep adding
small amounts of stock as the rice cooks stirring
regularly.
A couple of mins before the rice is cooked add some frozen peas (give a few extra mins if using fresh).
When the rice is cooked through and the last of the
stock is just asorbed take off the heat and mix in the chopped asparagus spears and
chopped mint.
Stir in grated parmesan and allow to rest for a few
minutes before serving.
SUCH a pretty plate of food, and so spring like too! Karen
ReplyDeleteThanks Karen, it was home grown asparagus too - a way of making a few spears go further.
