Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups Arborio rice

8 ounces frozen artichoke hearts, defrosted

1 pound thin asparagus

4 to 5 cups simmering chicken (or vegetable) stock or preferably homemade

2/3 cup dry white wine

1 cup chopped fennel

3 tablespoons minced fresh chives, plus extra for serving

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

3 cups chopped leeks, white and light green parts (2 leeks)

2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 tablespoon freshly grated lemon zest (2 lemons)

1/3 cup mascarpone cheese, preferably Italian

1 1/2 tablespoons good olive oil

1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus extra for serving

10 ounces frozen peas, defrosted, or 1 1/2 cups shelled fresh peas

1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Equipment:

sauce pan

Cooking instruction summary:

Watch how to make this recipe. Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and fennel and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the rice and stir for a minute to coat with the vegetables, oil, and butter. Add the white wine and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until most of the wine has been absorbed. Add the chicken stock, 2 ladles at a time, stirring almost constantly and waiting for the stock to be absorbed before adding more. This process should take 25 to 30 minutes. Meanwhile, cut the asparagus diagonally in 1-inch lengths and discard the tough ends. Blanch in boiling salted water for 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and cool immediately in ice water. (If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes until the starchiness is gone.) When the risotto has been cooking for 15 minutes, drain the asparagus and add it to the risotto with the peas, artichokes, lemon zest, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Continue cooking and adding stock, stirring almost constantly, until the rice is tender but still firm. When the risotto is done, turn off the heat and stir in the mascarpone, Parmesan cheese, lemon juice and chives. Serve hot with a sprinkling of chives and more Parmesan cheese.

Food Trivia

Eating an early dinner, or just skipping it altogether, may increase the amount of fat a person burns at night, a study found.

Food Joke

Surprise, surprise Rabbi Landau has always been secretly sad that he`s never been able to eat pork. So one day, he flies to a remote tropical Island and books into a hotel. “No one will find me here,” he said to himself. On the first evening, he goes to the best restaurant and orders the ‘roast pork special’. While he’s waiting, he hears someone call his name. Rabbi Landau looks up and sees one of his congregants walking towards his table. What unbelievably bad luck – the same time to visit the same restaurant on the same island! Just at that moment, the waiter puts on his table a whole roasted pig with an apple in its mouth and says, “Your special, sir.” Rabbi Landau looks up sheepishly at his congregant and says, "Would you believe it - you order an apple in this restaurant and look how they serve it!"
