To make good risotto you NEED good broth. I made the Asparagus and Strawberry Risotto with store bought stock and the risotto turned out just ok. I knew that Asparagus-Strawberry was a good combination so I tried it again, but this time I made my own stock. The risotto turned out absolutely delicious! So here you go…

2 quarts of water

3 carrots peeled and cut in 3 pieces

1 onion cut in half

2 celery ribs cut in 3 pieces

2 tablespoons sea salt

Put water in a large pot. Add vegetables and salt and boil. Cover and cook for 30 to 45 minutes.

Cook with your heart!  Rima
