Take-out Tuesday, Asparagus, Leek & Mushroom Risotto
The other night HHjr made a wonderful vegetable risotto
It was full of asparagus, mushrooms and leeks
It tasted like heaven on a chilly evening
Risotto isn’t hard to make,
especially if you make it when you are going to be in the kitchen anyway
so you can give it occasional stirring
Give the vegetables a quick saute in a skillet with butter
This will start the cooking process and they will continue to cook as the broth is added
Add rice* and cook for about a minute
*make sure you use Aborio rice
Add 1 cup broth
Then mushrooms
Cook, stirring occasionally until broth is absorbed
Repeat this step with each cup of broth until it is all absorbed
Serve topped with Parmesan
Or lemon slices

That looks yummy! Asparagus is on sale here this week!
I’m always looking for tasty sides. THANK YOU!
You’re so welcome! You can easily change this up with different vegetables too
Jenna, we love risotto and often have as our main dish! This looks so delicious and thanks to HHjr for the recipe. It would be perfect for this cold day! Stay warm…
Yes, this was a main dish for me. It looks brutal outside and I have to go downtown this morning, ugh!
Love risotto. And love asparagus. And boy, would that ever be a fabulous meal. I’ll remember this one. I often add shrimp too and that would work with the asparagus.
Thanks Jeanie, yes shrimp would be delicious!
Jenna, I love risotto, and this looks scrumptious! I have never made it from scratch. I usually buy a mix, but you have inspired me to try my hand at it. Thanks for sharing the recipe! Happy Tuesday!!!
It’s really easy to make, just a little stirring now and then, thanks Shannon!
This looks so good. I really love rice-based dishes.
Thanks Dorothy, it was really a treat for me since I didn’t have to make it 🙂
Risotto is one of my favorite foods and I make it often. Like you, I don’t find it difficult to prepare.
LSU/Alabama must have been hard for you to watch but it was a great game. FYI, I am meeting Bonnie Morgan this weekend and so looking forward to it.
Yes, tough game, but we are still proud of our tide! How fun to meet Bonnie, she is so sweet, I assume she’s going to Texas, I know she has family there?
Yes and they are close to me.
This sounds so good! Pinning! I have everything but that special rice, darn, it could have been my supper tonight! Will have to get it and try this. Thanks Jenna.
I hope you do try and enjoy Cyndi, it’s wonderful comfort food!
Looks delicious! I’ve never noticed mushroom stock before! I must look carefully.
Pinning.
That’s what we said too, if you can’t find it vegetable, beef or chicken will work. Thanks Bonnie:)
Oh my this looks so very good! I love everything in this dish! Looks so easy to whip together too! My kind of dish. Hugs and blessings to you sweet Jenna.
Cindy
Thank you Cindy, yes, easy yet elegant!
This does sound good! I love all the ingredients. I’m curious if you served anything else with it? Thanks for the recipe Jenna! ❤️
Thanks Jill, yes, we had the Blue Cheese Stuffed Pears and then my son also had crab cakes!
