Ingredients:

Serving

8 oz asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
8 oz sugar snap peas, trimmed and cut in half
5 tsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 (8-oz) zucchini , halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
1 (8-oz) yellow squash , halved lengthwise and cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices
4 3/4 cups organic vegetable broth
1/2 cup finely chopped shallots
1 cup uncooked arborio rice
1/4 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup (2 oz) grated fresh pecorino romano cheese
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
1 tsp grated lemon rind
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 tsp salt

Directions:

Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add asparagus and peas; cook for 3 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 teaspoons olive oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add zucchini and squash to pan; cook for 7 minutes or until lightly browned, stirring occasionally. Set aside.
Bring vegetable broth to a simmer in a medium saucepan (do not boil). Keep warm over low heat.
Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add shallots, and cook for 3 minutes or until tender. Stir in rice, and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Stir in wine; cook until liquid is absorbed (about 30 seconds), stirring constantly. Stir in 1 cup broth; cook 5 minutes or until liquid is nearly absorbed, stirring constantly. Reserve 1/4 cup broth. Add remaining broth, 1/2 cup at a time, stirring constantly until each portion of broth is absorbed before adding the next (about 22 minutes total). Stir in vegetables; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Remove from heat; stir in reserved 1/4 cup broth and remaining ingredients.
