  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/2 cup white wine (optional)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prep Ingredients:

  • Warm the vegetable stock over low heat in a medium pan.
  • Clean and slice the mushrooms, and cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.

Start the Risotto:

  • In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.

Toast the Rice:

  • Cook, stirring constantly, until the rice becomes translucent around the edges (about 2 minutes).

Add Wine (if using):

  • Pour the white wine into the pan.
  • Stir constantly until the wine has mostly evaporated.

Cook the Risotto:

  • Add the chopped asparagus and a ladleful of warm vegetable stock to the rice.
  • Stir regularly, allowing the liquid to be mostly absorbed before adding more stock.
  • Continue this process until the rice is cooked to your desired level of doneness (usually about 18-20 minutes).

Cook the Mushrooms:

  • While the rice is simmering, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they are brown and tender.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Finish the Risotto:

  • When the rice is cooked and all the liquid has been absorbed, stir in the cooked mushrooms and the grated Parmesan cheese.
  • Taste and add additional salt and pepper if needed.

Serve:
