This was a real disappointment. To be fair, maybe it is a little too early for asparagus and that's why the flavor was just not there. But it was the first day of spring, the asparagus looked beautiful, and I couldn't resist.

But I also think the proportions in this recipe are off -- a pound of asparagus is a lot for a cup and a half of risotto while five cups of broth seems to be too little for that amount of rice. I know I ended up using quite a bit more -- maybe 7-8 cups.

Side salad of mixed lettuce, champagne mango, candied pecans and black currant vinaigrette did work however.
