Asparagus, Broad Bean and Lavato Cheese Risotto

A creamy risotto featuring tender asparagus, fresh broad beans, and rich lavato cheese, creating a flavorful and satisfying dish with a perfect balance of earthy and creamy notes.

Ingredients

  • 50mL extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 brown onion, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove
  • 400g arborio rice
  • 1 glass dry white wine
  • 2 bunches asparagus, chopped
  • 180g broad beans, skins removed
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2L vegetable stock
  • 200g That's Amore Grated Local Parmesan
  • 100g That’s Amore Lavato rind removed
  • 1handful fresh parsley, chopped
  • salt & pepper

Instructions

Step 1

Place oil in a heavy-based pot over medium heat.

Step 2

Add onions and garlic and sauté for 2 mins until softened.

Step 3

Add the rice to the pot and turn up the heat. Cook for a minute or so, stirring constantly, until the rice looks slightly translucent. Add the asparagus, board beans, bay leaf and wine and keep stirring - any alcohol flavours will evaporate.

Step 4

Reduce to low heat and add stock, one ladle at a time, stirring between each addition and making sure stock is absorbed before adding the next ladleful, for 15-20 minutes until all the stock is used and rice is al dente.

Step 5

Stir in the lavato cut in cubes, parmesan and parsley.

Step 6

Remove the pot from the heat and season to taste. Place a lid and leave to rest for 2 mins.
