Ingredients:  
Asparagus

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 bunch fresh asparagus spears, ends trimmed, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Risotto

6 tablespoons butter, divided
2 large shallots, chopped
2 cups Arborio rice (small grain Italian rice)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 cups warmed chicken broth
2 cups petite green peas, thawed if frozen
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup chopped fresh chives (for garnish)

Directions:
Directions:
In a medium skillet, heat olive oil and add asparagus and salt. Toss; cook over medium heat for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until bright green. Set aside.
In a large saucepan, heat 4 teaspoons butter and sauté shallots until soft, about 4 minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat with butter and shallots. Add salt, pepper, and 1 cup of broth. Stir; cook over low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring often, until liquid is absorbed. Add another cup of broth (continuing the process so that the liquid is being absorbed by the rice); repeat until all the broth is used, adding just a cup at a time, stirring rice often. After 25 minutes or so, rice should be tender. Add peas, cooked asparagus, cheese, and remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook 1 minute more over low heat. Remove from heat. Serve risotto with chopped fresh chives and grated cheese as garnish.
