Mushroom and Asparagus Risotto

I do love a good risotto, and this one did not disappoint!  I decided to use a bunch of different types of rice in this dish and it turned out great! 

Olivia is judging me. And sitting on the copy of the recipe. I always make photocopies of my recipes because I inevitably make a mess on the recipe
Now she just doesn’t care. Typical cat indifference.

As always when I make rice (or quinoa or anything along those lines), I made a huge mess of the stove.  I used long grain wild rice, brown rice, and arborio rice.  I cooked the arborio rice in vegetable broth and the other rice in water.  When they were done cooking respectively, I combined them.

In a pan, I cooked an onion, the mushrooms, and some garlic. I added a dash of sea salt and some dill at the end. 

Rice-otto!

 I steamed the asparagus and added it to the mushroom/onion/garlic mix. I then squeezed some lemon onto the mixture for some extra flavor.

Smells so good! i wish these pictures were scratch-n-sniff!
You can’t see it, but the lemon juice is there!

Using the rice mixture as a base, I topped it with the asparagus/mushroom mixture and had a great meal! 

I had leftovers for days! Of the rice at least. I ended up steaming some broccoli to enjoy with the leftover rice.
