A spring-inspired risotto that’s ready in just 30 minutes! Made with fresh asparagus, sweet peas, and the rich, slow-simmered flavor of Kitchen Basics Chicken Stock, this dish is pure comfort in a bowl.

Prep & Cook Instructions

  1. Place stock and water in a saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer. Keep a ladle nearby.
  2. In a medium size Dutch oven, heat butter over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until softened, 5-7 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the rice and sauté, constantly stirring, for about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Pour in the wine and cook until it is fully absorbed while stirring it constantly, about 2 minutes.
  6. Ladle about 5 cups of the hot stock and water mixture into the rice, turn the heat down to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes.
  7. Stir in the asparagus and peas, and continue to cook until almost all the liquid is absorbed, 6-7 minutes. Keep a close eye on it and stir it a few times during cooking.
  8. Ladle in about 1 cup of the liquid (adjust the amount based on your preference) and stir until your risotto is creamy about 2-3 minutes. 
  9. Off the heat, parmesan cheese, lemon juice, and black pepper. Gently stir until combined.
  10. Garnish with parsley and serve.
