Report
An easy spring risotto that can serve 4-6 as a side dish or 2 generous main dishes. If you love lemon and want to add more, peel and cut sections of 1 lemon (supremes) and half them, then stir them in 5 minutes before the end of cooking time.

Instructions
- In a large pan with high sides heat olive oil on medium low, add shallot and garlic and cook gently until translucent.
- Stir in rice, wine and bay leaf.
- Start adding in stock ½ c at a time stirring every few minutes and adding more stock as it becomes absorbed.
- After 20 minutes when the rice is nearly done, add in the lemon zest, juice, asparagus and herbs and stir gently.
- Add in parmesan and cream and cook, stirring gently 5 more minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve in bowls and garnish with chives and more freshly grated parmesan cheese and pepper
Notes
- For an extra fresh presentation, blanch the asparagus tips to use as a garnish on top of the plated risotto once it's done. Extra fresh ground pepper and grated parmesan at the table are a nice touch.
