Quantity: 6P

Olive oil
300 g arborio risotto rice
1.5 l warm chicken broth
2 celery stalks finely chopped
2 shallots finely chopped
2 cloves garlic grated
200 ml dry white wine
150 g freshly grated parmesan + some extra for topping
0.5 bunch flat-leaf parsley

6 sprigs sage
1 pack sugar snaps
150 ml fresh or frozen peas
1 pack green asparagus
Zest of 1 lemon

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Pour a generous layer of olive oil into a large pot.

Heat it up and fry the sage until crispy, place on kitchen paper, sprinkle with salt.

Cut off the ends of the asparagus and briefly color them in the same oil as the sage,

place on kitchen paper, keep warm, do the same with the sugar snaps, keep warm, refresh the oil if it gets too brown.

Wipe the pot with kitchen paper, pour in 4 tbsp olive oil and sauté the celery, garlic, and shallot for about 4 minutes, then add the rice and fry for another 2 minutes.

Deglaze with the white wine, let it evaporate completely, then gradually add 300 ml of broth while stirring, which is about a large soup spoon.

Constant stirring helps with the creaminess of the risotto; stir until all the broth is mixed in and dissolved.

The rice should still be slightly al dente and translucent.

Stir in the cheese, and lastly the peas and finely chopped parsley.

Scoop onto plates, finish with the asparagus and sugar snaps, drizzle with olive oil, add the sage, lemon zest, and some more grated cheese on top.
