Witte-aspergerisotto

Eating white gold in a divine combination? Try this asparagus risotto with straciatella.

Ingredients · Servings 4 people
  • 750 g white asparagus
  • 1 liter vegetable broth
  • 1 ui
  • 300 g Arborio risotto
  • 100 ml white wine
  • 40 g unsalted butter
  • 75 g Parmesan cheese
  • 150 g burrata straciatella
Method · 45 min
  1. Peel the asparagus with a vegetable peeler and remove the hard ends.
  2. Add the asparagus and cook for 10 minutes until tender. Remove from the water and let stand for a moment.
  3. Chop the onion. Grate the Parmesan cheese.
  4. Melt half of the butter in a large pan and sauté the onion over low heat. After 5 minutes, add the risotto rice and fry for another 2 minutes.
  5. Pour in the wine and let it evaporate. Add the vegetable stock, ladle by ladle. Keep repeating this until the risotto is cooked (about 20 minutes).
  6. Cut 4 cm off the tips of the asparagus; save these for garnish. Cut the remaining asparagus into 2 cm pieces.
  7. When the risotto is al dente, turn off the heat and add the asparagus pieces, butter, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well until everything has melted.
  8. Season the white asparagus risotto with fresh pepper and divide among four plates. Finish with the asparagus tips and the stracciatella di burrata.
