A no-frills, timelessly good dish. Sometimes it just has to be classic.

Cooking time: 45 minutes

Ingredients (4 servings)
600 g Asparagus, green
1 l Vegetable or chicken stock
1 Onion, finely diced
350 g Risotto rice
1/16 White wine, dry
50 g Parmesan, grated
80 g Butter
Pepper, black, freshly ground
1 Organic lemon, juice and zest
Olive oil
Salt
  • Break or cut off the woody lower end of the asparagus spears. Add to the well-seasoned stock and bring to the boil.
  • Cut the upper part into bite-sized pieces and fry in olive oil until they are firm to the bite and have taken on some color. Mix half with olive oil and salt until smooth and pass through a sieve, put the rest to one side for later.
  • Sauté the onion in a little olive oil until translucent. Add the rice and fry, stirring regularly, until it becomes transparent and smells slightly toasted. Deglaze with the white wine and allow the liquid to evaporate completely.
  • Add a ladleful of stock, allow to evaporate and keep stirring until the rice is almost al dente. A few minutes before the end, stir in the asparagus puree and the remaining tips.
  • Bring to the desired consistency with a final ladle of stock - the risotto should be a little runnier than desired when eating.
  • Remove from the heat, stir in the cheese and butter and mix well to make the risotto creamy. Season with pepper and the juice of the organic lemon.
  • Divide between plates and garnish with more cheese and freshly grated lemon zest. Serve immediately.

Tip:

Falstaff wine recommendation

Pinot Blanc Vulkanland Steiermark DAC - 92 Falstaff points
Weingut Pfeifer, St. Anna/Aigen

Light yellow-green, silver reflections. Fine pome fruit nuances of fresh pear, some mango and a hint of blossom honey. Lean and juicy at the same time, subtle fruit sweetness at the core, mineral, a hint of oranges on the finish, an elegant and versatile food companion.
