INGREDIENTS

  • Vegetables

    • 🌱 20 fresh asparagus spears, trimmed
    • 🧅 1 small onion, diced
    • 1 rib celery, diced

  • Liquid and Stock

    • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
    • ½ cup dry white wine

  • Grains

    • 🍚 1 cup Arborio rice

  • Spices and Seasoning

    • 🧂 ¼ teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • 🧄 1 clove garlic, minced

  • Dairy and Cheese

    • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • Citrus

    • 🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 🍋 ½ teaspoon lemon zest

  • Oil

    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

STEPS

1

Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until tender, about 5 minutes. Cut asparagus into 1-inch pieces; set aside.

2

Heat chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat; keep at a simmer while preparing risotto.

3

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and celery; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir in Arborio rice and garlic; cook and stir until rice is lightly toasted, about 5 more minutes.

4

Stir in white wine and simmer until it has mostly evaporated, then stir in 1/3 of the hot chicken broth; continue stirring until rice has absorbed liquid and turned creamy. Repeat this process twice more, stirring constantly. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all.

5

Remove from heat and mix in Parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Serve immediately.
