Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Finely chop the shallot and press or mince the garlic.
  • Cut the bottom 2cm off the asparagus, then carefully peel it, keeping the head intact.
  • Chop 2 asparagus spears per person into small pieces. 
  • Dice the parsnip.
Make the risotto
2
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  • Fry the garlic and shallot for 30 seconds, then add the risotto, stock cube and half of the water (see pantry for amounts).
  • Bring to a boil, then cover with the lid. Allow the water to slowly incorporate, stirring regularly.
  • Add the parsnip, the chopped asparagus and the rest of the water. Cook for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring regularly. Make sure to scrape the bottom of the pan and add some more water if needed.
Fry the capers
3
  • Heat a clean grill pan or frying pan over high heat. Toast the pine nuts and pumpkin seeds for 2 - 3 minutes, or until golden-brown, then remove from the pan and set aside.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil per person in the same frying pan, then fry the capers for 3 - 4 minutes. When done, remove from the pan and set aside on kitchen paper.
Fry the asparagus
4
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil per person in the same pan, then fry the asparagus for 13 - 15 minutes over medium-high heat.
  • Season the asparagus with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Finely chop the tarragon.
Finish
5
  • Grate half of the Parmigiano Reggiano over the risotto and stir through. Add the tarragon, a knob of butter and the aged cheese when there are 5 minutes of cooking time left.
  • Thoroughly wash the lemon and then zest it over the risotto. 
  • Cut the lemon into wedges.
  • Season the risotto with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve
6
  • Serve the risotto on deep plates.
  • Grate the rest of the Parmigiano Reggiano over the risotto, then place the asparagus on top.
  • Garnish with the pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, capers and a lemon wedge.
