Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Broth

    In a saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat until it is warm but not boiling. Keep it on low heat to stay warm during the cooking process.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Cooking the Risotto

  1. 3

    Add the Rice

    Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to absorb the flavors and become slightly translucent.

  2. 4

    Gradually Add Broth

    Begin adding the warm vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time, stirring frequently. Allow the rice to absorb most of the broth before adding more. Continue this process until the rice is creamy and al dente, about 18-20 minutes.

  3. 5

    Incorporate Vegetables

    When the rice is nearly done, stir in the chopped asparagus, peas, and sliced mushrooms. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender and the rice is creamy.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Add Cheese and Butter

    Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, butter, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the cheese and butter are melted and incorporated.

  2. 7

    Garnish and Serve

    Serve the risotto hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy your seasonal risotto!
