- If there was a hall of fame for dishes, risotto would have to be a charter member. Asparagus and artichokes endow this classic rendition with regal flavors.
- Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add in onion, mushrooms and garlic.
- Cook, stirring, for 6 min. Add in rice, 2 c. water, wine and seasonings.
- Bring to a simmer; cook, uncovered, over medium-low heat about 8 to 10 min, stirring frequently.
- Stir in another 2 c. water, asparagus and artichokes. Bring to a simmer.
- Cook, stirring, till rice is al dente, about 12 to 14 min more. Adjust heat so rice doesn't burn on the bottom, and add in remaining k c. of water if needed.
- Remove from heat; let stand for a few min before serving. Mix in cheese.
- Makes 6 servings.
- HELPFUL HINT: For an herbal nuance, sprinkle minced flesh parsley or possibly basil over the risotto at the last minute.
