Tips:
- Use Arborio or Carnaroli rice for the best risotto texture, as these rice varieties are starchier and yield a creamier consistency.
- Toast the rice before adding the liquid to enhance the flavor and give the risotto a deeper, nuttier taste.
- Keep the chicken gravy warm in a separate pot to ensure even cooking and maintain the right temperature for the risotto.
- Stir the risotto continuously to release the starches from the rice, creating the creamy texture that is characteristic of a good risotto.
- Blanche the asparagus beforehand and add it towards the end of cooking to keep it bright green and tender.
- Let the risotto rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
This asparagus risotto is not just a meal, but an experience that brings together the fresh flavors of spring asparagus and the creamy texture of perfectly cooked rice. The hint of lemon zest and the freshness of parsley elevate this dish into a fine dining experience at home. Enjoy it as a main course, or serve it as a sophisticated side to your favorite protein.
