Do you have ham leftovers from Easter? Ham and Asparagus Risotto is a great way to use it up.

Ham and Asparagus Risotto

adapted from Cooking Light

Ingredients:

  • 2 Cups sliced asparagus, cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 Cup water
  • 1/2 cup white wine, or chicken stock if you don’t have wine. I used stock because I did not have any white wine on hand.
  • 1 – 10 oz can of chicken broth or Homemade Chicken Stock
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup sliced green onions
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 Cup uncooked Arborio or other short grain rice
  • 1 1/2 cups chopped, cooked ham (How To Bake A Ham)
  • 2 Tbsp fresh, minced parsley
  • Parmesan, to taste

Instructions:

1. Cook the asparagus in boiling water for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside.


2. Combine water, chicken stock and wine in a small saucepan and simmer over low heat. Do not bring to a boil.

3. Over medium heat, add olive oil to large saucepan. Add green onions and garlic and saute for about 1 minute.

4. Add rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.


5. Add 1/2 cup of warm stock and ham. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Stirring constantly.
6. Add the remaining stock, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion is absorbed before adding the next stock portion. About 20 minutes total.

7. Add asparagus during the last 4 minutes of the total cooking time.

8. When finished cooking, remove from heat and stir in parsley. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese to taste.
