Welcome spring with this scrumptious, EASY Asparagus Risotto! With contemporary chives, contemporary lemon zest, parmesan cheese, tender asparagus, and edible flowers, that is the right spring dish.
I’m formally in my risotto period. I lastly cracked the code so buckle up for a plethora of risotto recipes. It is a twist on my authentic Lobster Risotto. I did use a second pan to ensure I cooked the asparagus precisely to my liking. I didn’t need it to get mushy whereas I used to be ending the asparagus.
Don’t, I repeat, don’t use a pan with tall sides. Use a big, flat skillet to make risotto. It makes the method a breeze, permitting the rice to rapidly take up the liquid. You’ll thank me later!
I felt like a cartoon character saying, “mmm!” after each chew. It’s so brilliant and lemony and tacky, three issues I like related to asparagus. I hope you like this recipe as a lot as I do!
