Asparagus Risotto with Parmesan Crisps
Creamy asparagus risotto finished with lemon, Parmesan and crisp baked shards for a smart but practical Italian supper.
This creamy mushroom risotto is finished with Camembert for a gentle, savoury richness. The rice is cooked slowly with hot stock so it stays loose and glossy, while a little Parmesan adds depth.
Heat the olive oil in a wide saucepan over a medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 5 minutes until soft, then stir in the garlic and mushrooms and cook for 4–5 minutes until the mushrooms have released their moisture.
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 1 minute. Pour in the white wine and let it bubble until almost absorbed.
Add the hot vegetable stock a ladleful at a time, stirring often and allowing each addition to absorb before adding the next. Continue for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the butter, Camembert and Parmesan. Season with salt and black pepper, cover for 2 minutes, then loosen with a splash of hot stock if needed and serve.
Keep cooking
