Chef Jeremy Shearer from PRESS Bistro shares his recipe for Spring Risotto.

Spring Risotto

1 cup Arborio rice

4 cups chicken or vegetable stock

2 tbsp butter

Grated parmesan cheese

Spring vegetables of your choice (I am using asparagus)

1 egg

Salt and pepper to taste

In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the rice, Sautee until lightly brown.  Add 1/3 of the chicken stock and simmer stirring constantly.  As it cooks down, add another 1/3 of the stock, and then the last 1/3 of the stock and simmer until a creamy constancy. Finish with grated parmesan.

Add vegetable of choice (already steamed) and top with a poached egg.
