Asparagus Risotto

1 quart chicken broth
1 lb. asparagus
3 Tbsp. butter, divided
1 med. onion, chopped
1? cups Arborio rice
1? cups dry white wine
Zest of one lemon
? cup grated parmesan cheese

Bring broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan. Trim ends of asparagus, and cut into 1?” pieces. Toss asparagus into simmering chicken stock for about 3 minutes. Remove asparagus to a bowl; reduce heat under broth to med-low.

In another large saucepan, melt 2 Tbsp. butter. Cook onion in butter until soft. Add rice and stir to coat with butter, about 2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly translucent.

Add wine to rice, and cook until almost all liquid is evaporated. Add a small ladle (about ? cup) of warm broth to rice, stirring until broth is absorbed. Continue adding broth and stirring until it’s absorbed until a creamy sauce is formed in rice. This should take about 20 minutes and you should have about 1 cup of broth left over. Add remaining broth, 1/3 cup at a time, until absorbed.

Taste rice. If almost done, stir in remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and lemon zest. (if not, add 1/3 to ? cup water and continue stirring and cooking, about 3 minutes. Add parmesan cheese and asparagus, heat 1-2 minutes. Add a couple Tbsp. water if risotto is too thick. Serve w/ additional parmesan cheese.

Makes 4 servings.
