01
Step 1
Start by melting a tablespoon of butter together with some olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Toss in the bell pepper, onion, and garlic, and cook them until they’re soft and fragrant, about 2 to 3 minutes. Add the rice and give it a good stir so it gets coated in the buttery mixture, cooking for another minute or two.

Step 2
Pour in the wine and stir until it’s mostly absorbed. Then begin adding the broth, starting with a cup. Keep stirring and letting the rice soak up the liquid before adding more. After that first cup, add the broth in half-cup increments, stirring each time until the liquid is absorbed. When you get to the last cup of broth, throw in the asparagus so it cooks along with the rice. This whole process should take around 15 to 20 minutes, and the rice should be tender but still have a little bite.

Step 3
Once the rice and asparagus are just right, stir in the Parmesan, the truffle oil, and the last two tablespoons of butter. Add a splash of milk to loosen things up and make it as creamy as you like. Cover the pan and let it rest for a few minutes before serving so the flavors can come together.
Why you’ll love it
This dish combines the earthy flavor of truffle with the fresh, crisp taste of asparagus. The creamy texture of the risotto makes each bite comforting and rich. It’s a perfect balance of luxury and simplicity that feels special but is easy to make.
How to serve
Serve this risotto as a main course for a light dinner or as a side alongside grilled chicken or fish. Garnish with extra parmesan and a drizzle of truffle oil for an elegant touch. A crisp white wine pairs beautifully with the flavors.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of broth to restore creaminess. Avoid freezing, as it can change the texture of the risotto.
