Enjoy a delectable asparagus and spinach risotto with fresh seasonal produce in a flash, courtesy of Curtis Stone.
Ingredients:
  • 18.20 gm olive oil
  • 1 small brown onion, finely chopped
  • 400g rice
  • 2l chicken
  • 2 bunches asparagus, woody ends trimmed, stalks cut into 3cm pieces
  • 60g Baby Spinach, coarsely chopped
  • 60g Unsalted Butter
  • 40g parmesan
Instructions:
  • In a large deep non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat, sauté oil, onion, and garlic until tender, approximately 3 minutes. Stir in rice and cook until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
  • Pour the 3/4 cup (185ml) hot stock into the rice and stir constantly until absorbed. Gradually add 3/4 cup (185ml) hot stock at a time, stirring until each addition is nearly absorbed before adding more. Cook for 25 minutes or until the rice is al dente (with a slightly firm center). Introduce asparagus with the last batch of stock for a tender-crisp finish. Finish by adding spinach at the end and gently mix until wilted.
  • Take the pot off the heat and mix in butter, then gently blend in 1/3 cup (25g) of parmesan. Season with salt and pepper, and serve with the rest of the parmesan on top.
