Directions

1. Roast the Vegetables: Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss asparagus and mushrooms with olive oil, Four Mushroom Umami Blend, and a pinch of sea salt. Spread on a baking sheet in a single layer and roast for 15–18 minutes, stirring once halfway through, until lightly caramelized and tender. Set aside.

2. Prepare the Risotto Base: In a heavy-bottomed saucepan or Dutch oven, melt 1 Tbsp of the butter with 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add shallots and sauté for 2–3 minutes until translucent.

3. Toast the Rice: Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2–3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the rice edges look translucent. Pour in the white wine and simmer until fully absorbed.

4. Add the Stock Gradually: Add the warm stock, one cup at a time, stirring frequently. Wait until each addition is mostly absorbed before adding more. This will take about 18–22 minutes. The rice should be creamy and al dente.

5. Finish the Risotto: Stir in the remaining 1 Tbsp butter, 1 Tbsp olive oil, Parmigiano Reggiano, lemon zest, peas, and the roasted mushrooms and asparagus (reserve a few for garnish, if desired). Season with Kosher Salt and Fine Black Malabar Pepper to taste.

6. Plate & Garnish: Spoon the risotto into shallow bowls. Garnish with remaining roasted vegetables, extra Parmesan, and a sprinkle of fresh chives or parsley.
