Food recipes

Sergio Neri’s Risotto with asparagus
Recipe for 4 people

Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups of Arborio rice
- 1 Quart of chicken broth (home made chicken broth is best)
- 1 Cup of Hopewell Valley Vineyards Chardonnay or Spumante secco
- 1/4 Cup of olive oil
- 2 Cups of asparagus tips
- 1 Medium size onion, chopped
- 2 Cups of grated parmesan
- 1/3 Stick of butter
- 2 Tablespoons of light cream

Keep chicken broth boiling in a separate pot on low heat while cooking rice.
Sauté onions and asparagus in olive oil until onions turn clear.
Add rice and sauté for 3 minutes until rice is sizzling hot.
Add wine or spumante and cook until wine is fully absorbed.
Add broth periodically as need to keep rice moist boiling on medium heat, stirring often to prevent sticking.
Rice should be always soupy.
When rice is fully cooked (al dente, not mushy!) add butter, cream, and parmesan.
Turn stove off and stir rice vigorously for 1 minute.
Pour rice in a serving bowl and let it stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with parmesan and chopped parsley if desired.
