Asparagus and Truffle Risotto

Asparagus and Truffle Risotto

I’ve been trying various alternatives of risotto and landed on this one with truffle oil as my favorite. I’ll still be experimenting and adding more in the future. Serve with extra Parmesan cheese on top and a few truffle slices if you have them.

Add 1/2 cup of broth, stirring until absorbed; repeat process of adding 1/2 cup of broth until all is used. Stir in asparagus with the last cup of broth. Stirring in the broth should take 15 to 20 minutes in all. When finished, the rice should be tender yet firm to the bite.
