Ingredients

  • 150 g risotto rice (arborio)
  • 250 g green asparagus
  • 2 cod fillets (about 300 g) — or sole
  • 1 small onion or shallot
  • 700 ml vegetable stock
  • 15 g butter
  • 20 g parmesan
  • 1 tsp olive oil, lemon, salt, pepper, dill

Method

  1. Snap off the tough ends of the asparagus, set the tips aside and cut the stalks into pieces.
  2. Soften the onion in olive oil, add the rice and toast briefly. Add hot stock gradually, stirring for about 18 minutes; add the stalks halfway and the tips at the end.
  3. Season the fish and fry it in butter until golden on both sides, or finish for 8–10 minutes in the oven at 200 °C.
  4. Finish the risotto with parmesan and lemon zest, serve with the fish on top and sprinkle with dill.
