Asparagus risotto

A classic spring dish, asparagus risotto is both healthy and satisfying. Not to mention easier than you think! 

Start by chopping an onion and two garlic cloves, and frying until soft. Then add 2 cups Arborio or risotto rice, and fry until slightly translucent. Then add vegetable stock, one ladel at a time, until evaporated. Stir constantly so that the rice absorbs the liquid and doesn't stick to the pan. 

Repeat the process for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked. Season with salt and pepper and pour onto a plate. Add one bunch of steamed asparagus, chopped into small pieces. Sprinkle freshly grated Parmesan and black pepper on top.
