1. Asparagus Risotto White Asparagus
For the asparagus risotto with white asparagus, you expect about five spears of asparagus per person. Peel the asparagus generously and boil an asparagus stock from the asparagus peel and the sections with a chicken broth or vegetable broth, which you will use later for the risotto preparation. I cut the asparagus spears in half lengthwise, the asparagus tips are prepared for decoration. The rest of the asparagus is cut into small pieces and later goes straight into the risotto.
2. Asparagus Risotto green Asparagus
You can combine green asparagus with white asparagus for your risotto. The green asparagus looks simply appealing. Note: Green asparagus has a shorter cooking time than white asparagus. In contrast to white asparagus, which is already peeled below the tips, green asparagus requires only 5 cm peeling at the end.3. Asparagus Risotto vegan and vegetarian
Use a fine vegetable stock for the vegetarian and vegan asparagus risotto. If you avoid butter and cheese and use olive oil instead, you will get a vegan asparagus risotto. You can prepare a vegetarian asparagus risotto with cheese and butter.4. Decoration for your Asparagus Risotto
White and green asparagus look particularly good on the asparagus risotto. You can also decorate it with herbs, chervil, tarragon, parsley, cress and thyme are suitable. I like to combine asparagus with bear’s garlic, try with asparagus risotto a wild garlic pesto The bear’s garlic generally fits thematically into the beginning of the asparagus season.5. Asparagus Risotto with Parma Ham
Fresh, thinly sliced Parma ham or San Daniele ham is an absolutely fantastic addition to your asparagus risotto. I’ll add the air-dried ham to the risotto or put a slice of ham folded into a rose in the middle of the risotto just before serving.
6. Which Cheese goes with Asparagus Risotto
The asparagus risotto goes very well with freshly grated Parmesan and Pecorino. I recently experimented with mountain cheese and find it exciting. Emmentaler and Gouda are out of the question for me here…7. Prepare Asparagus Risotto in Thermomix
Peel the asparagus and leave the skins and sections to simmer for 20 minutes in a vegetable broth to form the flavour. Pass this broth through a sieve later. The asparagus broth is an excellent base for your asparagus risotto and supports the taste. Next, cut the peeled white asparagus in half lengthwise, cut the asparagus into bite-sized pieces and cook in a pot with a little butter, white wine and broth until al dente. Thermomix: Start with the Parmesan 10 sec /step 10 mince/grate and pour into a bowl. Add 50 g butter and 1 tbsp olive oil to the mixing bowl and fry the risotto rice (approx. 80 g per portion) for 5 minutes at 120°C/left run/step 1. Add 80 ml dry white wine and 100 g rice – 250 g each to the prepared asparagus broth, cook for approx. 20 minutes (observe packaging instructions cooking time for risotto rice) at 100°C/left run/stage 1 risotto ready. Then mix the risotto with some Parmesan, some olive oil, a part of the cooked asparagus (left course step 1) and arrange quickly. Decorate the asparagus risotto with the remaining asparagus tips and pieces. Note on Varoma cooking: I have tried it and cooked the asparagus in the Varoma while the risotto is simmering under it. I am not really satisfied with the taste. Steaming works better over boiling water. Therefore my preparation is not 100% in Thermomix but only where I personally think it makes sense.
