Try Curtis Stone's fresh asparagus and spinach risotto for a seasonal delight.
Ingredients:
  • 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, about 3 mins. Add rice and continue to cook for 2 mins until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.
  • Pour 3/4 cup (185ml) of hot stock into the rice and stir continuously until absorbed. Repeat this step, adding 3/4 cup (185ml) of hot stock at a time, stirring until almost absorbed before adding more, for 25 minutes or until the rice is al dente (each grain should have a slightly firm center). Introduce the asparagus with the final stock addition to cook until tender-crisp. Lastly, fold in the spinach towards the end of cooking to wilt it into the dish.
  • Off the heat, mix in the butter, gently blend in 1/3 cup (25g) of Parmesan, season with salt and pepper, and serve with the rest of the Parmesan on top.
