Ingredients for 4 portions
- Carnaroli rice 320 g
- Vegetable broth 700 ml
- Glass of white wine One
- Fresh asparagus 400 g
- Grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese 2 tbsp
- Anchovy in extra virgin olive oil 8 fillets
- Zest of one fresh lemon
- Shallot 1
- Extra virgin olive oil 2 tbsp (20 g)

Preparation
Fry the chopped shallot in a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil in a non-stick casserole dish.
Add the rice and toast it for a few minutes.
Add the white wine, leave it to evaporate and cook for around 17 minutes, adding hot vegetable broth.
In the meantime prepare the asparagus by removing the hard bottoms of the stems, carefully washing and cutting them into discs, leaving a few whole tips to decorate the dish with.
Fry the asparagus discs in a pan with a tbsp of extra virgin olive oil on a medium-high heat for around 5 minutes, adding vegetable broth if necessary.
When the rice is about half cooked, add the asparagus and continue cooking until the rice is ready, seasoning to taste.
Remove from the heat and add Parmigiano Reggiano and the grated lemon zest.
Place the risotto on a plate and decorate with the anchovy fillets and fried asparagus tips. Serve hot.
