Instructions:

1. In a medium saucepan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and combined.

2. Add the finely chopped onion to the saucepan and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and fragrant.

3. Stir in the uncooked long-grain rice, ensuring each grain is coated with the butter and oil mixture. Cook for an additional minute to lightly toast the rice, enhancing its flavor.

4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and allow the risotto to simmer for 15 minutes. This slow cooking process allows the rice to absorb the flavorful broth gradually.

5. While the risotto is simmering, drain the can of asparagus and using a fork, mash the asparagus in the can until it forms a coarse paste. Set aside.

6. After 15 minutes of simmering, uncover the saucepan and add the mashed asparagus to the risotto. Stir well to incorporate the asparagus into the rice mixture.

7. Cover the saucepan once again and continue to cook the risotto for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the asparagus to infuse its essence into the rice, imparting a delicate flavor.

8. Once the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the risotto, creating a creamy texture.

9. Serve the Asparagus Risotto immediately, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Enjoy the vibrant flavors of spring in every mouthwatering bite!
