Description
Spring brings us all this gorgeous but pricey fresh asparagus. I don't mind the expense for the pleasure of steamed spears. But i've found that in making risotto, using a frozen product often gives as much flavor, and is easier and cheaper. Step 6 is where i veer away from traditional risotto making – something i figured out when my kids were little and i wanted to be with them rather than stand at the stove, stirring. This early prep saves you at least 10 minutes of on-your-way-to-varicose-veins time.
