Preparation
In a large saucepan, in 2 tbsps olive oil, sauté
carrots until tender. Add asparagus spears. Cover and cook for
about 5 minutes or until asparagus is crisp-tender. Transfer
vegetables to a bowl and set aside.
In the same saucepan, in remaining oil, add onion and garlic.
Cook for 5 minutes or until tender. Add uncooked rice. Cook
and stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes or until rice is golden
brown.
Meanwhile, in another saucepan, heat chicken broth and white
wine to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and maintain a simmer.
Slowly add 1 cup of the broth to the rice mixture, stirring
constantly.
Continue to cook and stir over medium heat until liquid is absorbed.
Continue to add 1 cup of broth at a time to rice mixture, stirring
constantly, until all broth has been added, absorbed and the
rice mixture is creamy.
Add cheeses and vegetables to rice; stir until well blended.
Garnish as desired with fresh chives. Refrigerate any leftover
dressing. |
