Ingredients

4 Servings

1 tbsp olive oil

75g (5 tbsp) unsalted butter

½ onion, very finely chopped

1 celery stick, very finely chopped

1 small carrot, very finely chopped

1 garlic clove, crushed

125g (4.4 oz) asparagus spears

750 ml (3 cups) vegetable stock

175g (6.2 oz) risotto rice, Arborio or Carnaroli

50 ml (1/4 cup) dry white wine

100g (3.5 oz) broad beans, skins removed

75g (2.65 oz) peas (petits pois)

40g (1.4 oz) Parmesan (or similar hard cheese), finely grated

1 mint sprig, leaves finely chopped

1 dill sprig, finely chopped

1 parsley sprig, leaves finely chopped

sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

Step 1/9

In a large saucepan, heat olive oil and 2/3 of the butter, then add the onion, carrot, celery, and garlic. Cook over a low flame for approximately 10 minutes, until soft, stirring from time to time.

Step 2/9

Remove the woody ends from the asparagus and diagonally slice it into 4 cm (1.6-inch) pieces.

Step 3/9

In another saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer.

Step 4/9

Add the rice to the softened vegetables and stir to coat, then cook for a few minutes. Next, pour in the wine and continue to mix for a minute or two until the liquid evaporates.

Step 5/9

Add the stock, a ladle at a time, all the while stirring. When you are just about to finish with adding the broth, add the beans and the peas, then season with salt and pepper.

Step 6/9

Add the asparagus slices into the remaining stock, cook until al dente, then remove from the liquid and add to the rice.

Step 7/9

Continue to cook until all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is al dente.

Step 8/9

Remove from the heat and stir in 25g (0.9 oz) of cheese and the rest of the butter. Cover the pan with a lid, leave for 5 minutes, then stir in the herbs.

Step 9/9

Place onto warmed plates, sprinkle with the remaining cheese, and serve.
