Ingredients:

Serving

1/3 cup onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1 1/2 cups arborio rice
2 (14 1/2 oz) cans reduced-sodium chicken broth
10 -12 stalks asparagus , cut into 1-inch pieces
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup imported parmesan cheese, finely shredded
1 1/2 oz thinly sliced prosciutto or 1 1/2 oz ham , cut into thin strips

Directions:

In a large saucepan, cook onion in butter and olive oil over medium heat until tender. Add uncooked rice. Cook and stir about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, bring broth to boiling; add the asparagus; reduce heat and simmer, covered, about 7 minutes or until asparagus is tender. Remove asparagus and set aside.
Slowly add 1 cup of hot broth to the rice mixture, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until liquid is absorbed. Continue adding broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until the broth has been absorbed. Repeat with the wine. The rice should be creamy and barely firm; it should take about 30 minutes to get to this point.
Stir in the 1/3 cup cheese and remove from heat. Stir in prosciutto and asparagus and serve.
