Vegetable Risotto-serves 4

3 cups vegetable broth

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup Arborio rice

• In a medium skillet, cook onion, garlic and mushrooms in the oil until the onions are tender. Add the uncooked rice and cook over medium heat until the rice is golden, about 5 minutes.

While you're doing this, bring the vegetable broth to a boil. Reduce heat and allow to simmer. Slowly stir in 1 cup of broth into the rice mixture and cook until all of the liquid is absorbed. Now, add asparagus and 1/2 cup broth and stir until all of the liquid is absorbed. Repeat with 1 more cup of broth.

Now, stir in the rest of the ingredients and cook until the rice is tender and creamy. Serve and watch everyone enjoy.
