Steps

• Prepare the Asparagus
• Trim the tough ends of the asparagus spears.
• Cut the asparagus into 1-inch pieces.
• In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
• Add the asparagus pieces to the skillet and season with salt and black pepper.
• Sauté the asparagus for 5-7 minutes until tender. Set aside.
• Prepare the Risotto
• In a separate large saucepan, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat.
• Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the saucepan and sauté until translucent.
• Add the Arborio rice to the saucepan and stir to coat the rice with the oil and butter mixture.
• Pour in the white wine and cook until it is absorbed by the rice.
• Gradually add the vegetable broth, one cup at a time, stirring constantly until each cup is absorbed before adding the next.
• Continue this process until the rice is cooked al dente, which usually takes about 20-25 minutes.
