How To Make Egg and Asparagus Risotto
Creamy Egg and Asparagus Risotto Recipe
Ingredients
For the Risotto:
- 1 1/2 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cup chicken or vegetable broth (kept warm)
- 1 cup dry white wine
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch of fresh asparagus, trimmed and cut into bite-sized pieces
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and black pepper to taste
For the Egg Mixture:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Sauté the Onion, Garlic, and AsparagusIn a large, deep skillet or a wide saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the asparagus pieces and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften. Remove a few asparagus tips for garnish, if desired.
- Toast the RiceAdd the Arborio rice to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Stir to coat the rice in the oil and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice grains become slightly translucent at the edges.
- Deglaze with WinePour in the dry white wine and stir continuously until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.
- Begin Adding BrothStart adding the warm chicken or vegetable broth, one ladleful at a time. Stir continuously and allow the liquid to be mostly absorbed by the rice before adding more. Continue this process for about 18-20 minutes or until the rice is creamy and al dente.
- Prepare the Egg MixtureWhile the risotto is cooking, whisk together the eggs, grated Parmesan cheese, heavy cream, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Set aside.
- Finish the RisottoOnce the rice is creamy and cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.Gradually pour the prepared egg mixture into the risotto, stirring constantly. The residual heat will cook the eggs and create a creamy texture. Season with additional salt and black pepper if needed.
- Serve and GarnishSpoon the Egg and Asparagus Risotto onto serving plates.Garnish with reserved asparagus tips and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately, and enjoy your creamy, comforting risotto!
