Asparagus Risotto

1 quart chicken broth

1 lb. asparagus

3 Tbsp. butter, divided

1 med. onion, chopped

1½ cups Arborio rice

1½ cups dry white wine

Zest of one lemon

¼ cup grated parmesan cheese

Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan.  Trim ends of asparagus, and cut into 1½” pieces.  Toss asparagus into simmering chicken stock for about 3 minutes.  Remove asparagus to a bowl; reduce heat under broth to med-low.

In another large saucepan, melt 2 Tbsp. butter.  Cook onion in butter until soft.  Add rice and stir to coat with butter, about 2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly translucent.

Add wine to rice, and cook until almost all liquid is evaporated.  Add a small ladle (about ½ cup) of warm broth to rice, stirring until broth is absorbed.  Continue adding broth and stirring until it’s absorbed until a creamy sauce is formed in rice.  This should take about 20 minutes and you should have about 1 cup of broth left over.  Add remaining broth, 1/3 cup at a time, until absorbed.  

Taste rice.  If almost done, stir in remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and lemon zest.  (if not, add 1/3 to ½ cup water and continue stirring and cooking, about 3 minutes.  Add parmesan cheese and asparagus, heat 1-2 minutes.  Add a couple Tbsp. water if risotto is too thick.  Serve w/ additional parmesan cheese.

Answer 8

I saw this on Rachel Ray and I use it for a lot of my veggies...

Trim the asparagus, then saute it in a bit of good olive oil until slightly browned and wilted.  Splash some soy sauce or Worchester sauce on it and finish with roasted sesame seeds... yummmmy.

Answer 9

Well, it's not quick, but it's yummy.

If you have the pork in the oven.....

Place asparagus on a cookie sheet with sides, jelly roll type.  Drizzle olive oil, butter or regular oil over asparagus.  Shake garlic powder over.  Roast (bake with pork) for about 20 min.

Answer 10

I grill mine using a grill pan.  Spray with cooking oil, grill about 5 - 7 minutes, I like mine crisp.  Season with salt, pepper and fresh squeezed lemon over the top.  It is perfect and healthy.  If you want you can also drizzle with melted butter.
