Instructions
- Heat vegetable broth in a saucepan and keep it warm on low heat.
- In a separate large pan, heat olive oil and half the butter over medium heat.
- Add diced white onion and minced garlic clove; cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add arborio rice to the pan and stir to coat the grains with oil and butter; cook for 2 minutes until slightly translucent edges.
- For in dry white wine and stir until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
- Add a ladle of warm vegetable broth to the rice and stir continuously until the liquid is mostly absorbed.
- Repeat adding broth one ladle at a time, stirring constantly, until rice is creamy and al dente, about 18 minutes.
- Five minutes before the rice is done, add chopped asparagus tips, diced zucchini, and fresh green peas to the risotto; stir well.
- Once rice and vegetables are cooked, remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped chives.
- Season with fine salt and ground black pepper to taste.
- Cover the pan and let the risotto rest for 2 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Use warm broth to help rice cook evenly and release starch for creaminess.
- Stir constantly to prevent rice from sticking and to develop creamy texture.
- Add vegetables late to keep them crisp and fresh.
- Adjust seasoning at the end to taste.
Serving Suggestions
- light green salad
- grilled chicken breast

Enjoy this creamy spring vegetable risotto fresh from the pan, perfect for a light and flavorful meal any day.
