Spring Risotto
From Cooking Light
- 1 pound asparagus, trimmed and cut into 3/4-inch pieces
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (2 teaspoons if using a non-stick pan)
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup uncooked Arborio rice
- 1 cup frozen shelled edamame
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 cup 1/3-less-fat cream cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 ounce shaved Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
Meanwhile, heat another large saucepan over medium heat. Add olive oil, and swirl to coat. Add onion; cook 4 minutes. Add garlic, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in rice, edamame, and salt; cook for 1 minute. Stir in 1 cup broth mixture; cook for 4 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Add remaining broth mixture, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until liquid is absorbed before adding more (about 20-25 minutes total).
Stir in asparagus, cream cheese, and pepper; cook 1 minute. Spoon risotto into 4 bowls. Top each serving with 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese; sprinkle evenly with thyme.
