Asparagus risotto

The asparagus season is the best time in spring. In this post I will show you how you can prepare a delicious asparagus risotto and use everything from asparagus.

Fresh German asparagus straight from the field is one of my standard purchases in spring. Asparagus can be processed in a variety of ways. A delicious variant is this asparagus risotto with fresh white and green asparagus. This asparagus risotto is based on a freshly cooked asparagus stock that is obtained from the asparagus peels. To do this, the bowls are simply boiled in a little water with salt and oil so that they give off their taste. The risotto rice is cooked with this stock and then refined with crispy pieces of asparagus.

I decided to use white and green asparagus to give the whole dish a little more color and variety. Of course, the risotto can also be prepared with just one type of asparagus. If you tend towards this variant, I recommend that you use the white asparagus so that you can cook the underlying asparagus stock from the peels

You can find out how your risotto works particularly well in the article on my delicious one Risotto with fresh mushrooms .
