Method

  1. Dice the onion and gently fry it in a little oil.
  2. When the onion is translucent, add the chopped garlic and let it cook for a few minutes.
  3. Add the artichokes (tough leaves and stalk removed) in slices about 1/2 cm thick and the asparagus in small pieces (tough ends removed).
  4. Let the vegetables cook for about 15 minutes, then add the washed rice and stir.
  5. Add stock to cover the rice and vegetables and let it cook. Keep an eye on it and stir every so often, adding more stock if it’s absorbed.
  6. Before turning off the heat, add most of the Parmesan and stir.
  7. Sprinkle with the rest of the Parmesan.
  8. To make it vegan, leave out the Parmesan and use ground cashews, nutritional yeast or any grated vegan cheese instead.
