Notes

You can use green asparagus, both cultivated and wild. I recommend choosing a good quality rice suitable for risottos. In this case, I used Vialone Nano.

You can enhance the sauté with guanciale, bacon, speck, or cooked ham. If you don’t have spring onions, you can replace them with a shallot or half a white onion.

If you follow a vegan diet, you can easily omit the butter or cheese, and the risotto will still be tasty.
