Asparagus risotto

Risotto isn't the most traditional Christmas side dish, which is exactly why you should try adding it to your meal spread this year. Cook it in your crock pot, and you only have to stir it 4 times, as opposed to watching it like a hawk and constantly stirring in a saucepan or Dutch oven. Uber-creamy and cheesy with healthy asparagus stalks for balance, this recipe is one to try.
