Create a fabulous meal with just 6 simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
  • 1020.00 gm salt reduced chicken style liquid stock
  • 40g butter
  • 1 medium brown onion, finely chopped
  • 8 slices pancetta, roughly chopped
  • 300.00 gm arborio rice
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed, cut into 3cm pieces
Instructions:
  • Bring the stock to a boil in a covered saucepan over high heat, then simmer on low until ready to use.
  • In a large, heavy-based saucepan over medium heat, melt butter until sizzling. Sauté onion until soft, about 4 minutes. Add pancetta and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in rice and cook for another minute.
  • Pour 1/3 cup of stock into the rice mixture and stir until absorbed. Continue adding 1/3 cup of stock at a time, stirring until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy. Add asparagus with the last 1/3 cup of stock and cook for 5 more minutes until the asparagus is tender. Season with salt and pepper, then serve.
