1/4
cup water
1
medium onion, chopped (1/2 cup)
1
pound asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
1
cup uncooked Arborio or other short-grain white rice
2
cans (14 1/2 ounces each) vegetable broth
2
cups broccoli florets
1
cup Green Giant® Valley Fresh Steamers™ frozen sweet peas
3
tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 In 3-quart saucepan, heat water to boiling. Cook onion and asparagus in water, stirring frequently, until crisp-tender. Remove mixture from saucepan.
  • 2 Spray saucepan with cooking spray; add rice to saucepan. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice begins to brown.
  • 3 Pour 1/2 cup of the broth over rice. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed. Continue cooking 15 to 20 minutes, adding broth 1/2 cup at a time and stirring occasionally, until rice is tender and creamy; add asparagus mixture, broccoli and peas with the last addition of broth. Sprinkle with cheese.

Expert Tips

Risotto is done when enough broth has been absorbed to make the rice just tender and the mixture creamy.

The secret to creamy risotto is adding the broth 1/2 cup at a time and cooking with frequent stirring until all the liquid is absorbed before repeating with another 1/2 cup broth.

This was really good by itself. I made it to go with the Chicken Marsala, but it didn't go really good with it. But I would definitely make it again just with another dish. Also it made way too much for a side dish. I had risotto leftovers for a few snacks in the afternoon, but didn't mind.
