Contributor: Kitchen on Fire
Directions
Serves 8
- Bring the stock & wine to a simmer in a 3qt sauce pan.
- Melt the butter to a 6qt chef’s pan, over med-high heat, & sauté the shallots, proscuitto, asparagus & mushrooms for about 6-8 minutes (until the mushrooms have lost most of their moisture & the asparagus is tender). Remove from the pan & set aside.
- Place the pan back onto the heat & pour in the olive oil. Add the rice and sauté until well coated with oil & just toasted. Reduce heat to medium/med-low.
- About ½ cup or so at a time add the stock mixture to the rice, stirring constantly; waiting until it is almost totally absorbed before adding the next ladle-full. Continue until all the stock is incorporated and the rice is creamy, but not runny.
- Stir in cheese, proscuitto & vegetables. Season with truffle oil, salt & pepper; garnish with parsley & serve.

6 Qt. Covered Chef's Pan with Helper Handle
The sides of a chef's pan are gently sloped, just enough to round the edges of the pan. Getting rid of the sharp corners makes stirring or whisking more efficient with this cookware piece.
