Spring Risotto


So this is full on Spring no?

—Sweated onions and ramp bulbs in olive oil, toasted risotto, and added a splash of white Vermouth
—Ladled in homemade chicken stock and a green purée made of the tough ends of the asparagus
—Added in peas and asparagus tips to cook when the risotto was still a bit crunchy, but nearly there
—Added new growth overwintered lettuce and a good wodge of butter and grated parm/reg
—Garnished with a healthy dose of chervil from the garden, a splash of lemon, and a bit of black pepper

Our wine was beautiful apples, fennel, and minerality. Like I'd mentioned before, I'm really getting into Gruner Veltliners and this one was gorgeous—2010 biodynamic GV from Nikolaihof.

Hey—bonus—here's a photo of the steers:
