6g
1 cup white rice
230g
4 cups vegetable broth
920g

120g
1/3 lb asparagus
150g
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
40g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g
2 tbsp fresh parsley
10g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Soup:
1. In a large pot over medium heat, melt the butter.
2. Add the chopped leek and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until soft and translucent.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4. Add the white rice to the pot, stirring to coat with the butter and vegetables.
5. Pour in the vegetable broth and water, then bring the mixture to a boil.
6. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked.
7. Add the peas and asparagus to the pot, cooking for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
8. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Cook until the cheese has melted and the soup is well-combined.
9. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
2. Prepare the Romano Sticks:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Roll out the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface.
3. Sprinkle half of the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the puff pastry.
4. Fold the puff pastry in half and gently roll out again to about its original size.
5. Sprinkle the remaining parmesan cheese over the top.
6. Cut the puff pastry into 1-inch wide strips.
7. Twist each strip several times and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake the twists for 12-15 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed.
9. Allow the romano sticks to cool slightly before serving.
3. Serve:
1. Ladle the pea, asparagus, and rice soup into bowls.
2. Serve with the warm romano sticks on the side for dipping.

Tips:

- For a more intense flavor, roast the garlic before adding it to the soup.

- Cut the asparagus into small, bite-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly and are easy to eat.

- Use high-quality vegetable broth for a richer taste.

- If the soup is too thick, add a bit more water or broth to reach your desired consistency.

- Garnish with extra parmesan cheese and parsley for added flavor and presentation.

- Ensure the puff pastry is fully thawed before handling to make it easier to work with.

- Serve the romano sticks straight from the oven while they're still hot and crispy.
