Ingredients

4 cups low sodium chicken broth or stock

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or butter

1/4 cup sweet onion or 1 shallot, minced

1 garlic clove, minced

1 cup Arborio Rice (found with other rice or in "Italian" section of regular grocery stores)

Optional: 1/3 cup white wine

3/4 pound asparagus, trimmed and sliced into 1/2 inch pieces

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon lmeon juice

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated

Directions

Heat the chicken broth in a saucepan over medium heat.
Meanwhile add the oil to a large skillet and cook the onions over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Then add in the garlic and rice, stirring for about 1 minute until the rice is coated in the oil.
Add the white wine or 1 ladle of the chicken broth to the rice, and continuing stirring until the liquid is absorbed. Keep adding the broth one ladle at a time, allowing the liquid to completely absorb between each addition. Do this for a total of 20-25 minutes, until the broth is gone and the rice is creamy and softened.
Place the asparagus in a microwave safe bowl and cover with water. Place it in the microwave for 3 minutes, and then add it to the risotto. Also stir in the salt, pepper, lemon juice, and cheese.
Serve the risotto immediately, enjoy!
