Ingredients

* 1 lb asparagus

* 5 cups vegetable broth

* 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

* 2 + 2 tablespoons butter

* 4 oz onion, chopped

* 1 1/2 cups arborio rice (Italian)

* salt and pepper

* 1/2 cup white wine

* 4 - 5 tablespoons parmigiano reggiano cheese, freshly grated

Directions

In a saucepan put 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter, and turn heat to medium. When the butter starts foaming add the onion. Sauté until the onion is soft.

* Add rice, stir for about 2 minutes, add salt and pepper.

* Add the wine, and stir for about 2 minutes until absorbed.

* Add asparagus stem and one quarter cup broth.

Stir to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan. When the rice begins absorbing the liquid, add more broth.

* Repeat this step of adding the broth and stirring, keeping the rice at the consistency of a dense paste.

* After about 12 minutes add the asparagus spears.

* Continue adding the broth and stirring as indicated above.

* After about 18 minutes add the rest of the butter, parmigiano reggiano cheese, and continue stirring and adding broth.

*The rice will be ready in about 2 more minutes, when al dente (firm but not too soft or overcooked). Cooking time may vary.

Let the risotto set for about 2 minutes. Serve hot.
