PREPARATION
Peel the asparagus and cut it into 1 cm thick slices. Peel the onion and cut it into small cubes, sweat in butter. Add rice and asparagus pieces and continue to sear until transparent, deglaze with white wine and continue to simmer until the liquid has reduced. Add the stock to the risotto cup by cup and continue to cook stirring constantly for 12 to 15 minutes. Peel the pear, cut it into cubes. Add to the risotto just before it is done. Season to taste adding the Parmesan, parsley, pepper and cold butter. Before you serve the risotto, plate it with the Gorgonzola slices and drizzle with olive oil.
Eggwirt insider tip: to make the risotto even more scrumptious, add 2 tsp. of roasted walnuts.
