Fresh Recipe: Asparagus Risotto

If you have been following me, you know that I love Risotto!  It is my comfort food and one of my go to’s on a cold, raining day.  This week I tweaked my recipe for Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto, also throwing in some grilled veggies to the side.  OH MY IS IT GOOD! I even has a grandson of a customer try it when they came by the studio.  He said “It looked gross and I don’t normally like asparagus, but man is that good!” Huge shout out to Farm Fresh Carolinas for the Fresh Veggies (they really do make a difference).  Also, be sure to watch my Fresh Tip Tuesday and learn some fun facts about Asparagus!

 

Asparagus Risotto

Ingredients

– 1 cup Arborio rice
–  8oz. (about 1 cup) fresh asparagus, coarsely chopped
– 1 tsp. coarse kosher salt
– 1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
– 2 1⁄4 cups vegetable stock or water*
– 1 small onion, peeled, halved and chopped in Chop ’N Prep Chef
– 1 garlic clove
– 1 Tbsp. Italian Herb Seasoning
– 1⁄2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated in Grate Master Shredder

Preparation

  1. Rinse Arborio rice in strainer until water runs clear, about 30–60 seconds.
  2. Pour rice into Tupperware Microwave Pressure Cooker base and add vegetable stock, asparagus, onion, garlic, seasoning salt and oil. Seal and microwave on 70% power 13 minutes.
  3. Remove from microwave and set aside. (this allows the pressure to release naturally  – until pressure indicator fully lowers – about 4–6 minutes.)
  4. Remove cover and stir in Parmesan cheese.
  5. ENJOY!

    FOR THE GRILLED VEGGIES:
    Put peeled carrots and asparagus in the MicroPro Grill.  Drizzle with Olive Oil and Italian Herb Seasoning. Place Cover in the Grill position for 6 mins.  DONE!

Fresh Recipe: Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto

I love risotto. It is a comfort food to me just like mac and cheese. The difference always was it would take me an hour to make it. That is, until Tupperware came out with their amazing Microwave Pressure Cooker and I could make it in less than 20 mins!  This week on Fresh Tip Tuesday I went live and shared my favorite Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto.  Watch the playback here and check out the recipe below.  I hope you love it as much as my girls and I do 🙂
