RISOTTO WITH SPRING CARROTS AND LEEKS
You can get carrots and leeks year 'round in the supermarket. In the spring, though, new carrots and leeks, fresh and sweet, come to farmers' markets, and they're perfect for this risotto.

Steps:
- Pour your stock or broth into a saucepan, and bring it to a simmer over low heat with a ladle nearby or in the pot. Make sure that it is well seasoned.
- Heat the oil in a wide, heavy skillet or saucepan over medium heat, and add the carrots, leeks and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, until the vegetables begin to soften, about three minutes. Add the rice, thyme and garlic. Cook, stirring, until the grains of rice are separate and beginning to crackle.
- Add the wine, and stir over medium heat until it has almost evaporated. Begin adding the simmering stock, two ladlefuls (about 1/2 cup) at a time. The stock should just cover the rice and should be bubbling, not too slowly nor too quickly. Cook, stirring often, until the liquid is almost absorbed. Add another ladleful or two of the stock, and continue to cook in this fashion - adding more stock when the rice is almost dry, then stirring - for about 20 to 25 minutes. Taste a bit of the rice. It should be chewy but not hard in the middle. (If it is still hard in the middle, add more stock and cook for another five minutes or so.) Stir in the chopped fresh herbs, add pepper to taste, taste and adjust salt.
- When the rice is cooked al dente, remove the pan from the heat and stir in another ladleful of stock, the Parmesan and lemon juice. The rice should be creamy. Serve right away in wide soup bowls or on plates, spreading the risotto in a thin layer rather than lumping in a mound.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the leeks and fennel and saute for 5 to 7 minutes, until tender. Add the rice and stir for a minute to coat with the vegetables, oil, and butter. Add the white wine and simmer over low heat, stirring constantly, until most of the wine has been absorbed. Add the chicken stock, 2 ladles at a time, stirring almost constantly and waiting for the stock to be absorbed before adding more. This process should take 25 to 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the asparagus diagonally in 1 1/2-inch lengths and discard the tough ends. Blanch in boiling salted water for 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente. Drain and cool immediately in ice water. (If using fresh peas, blanch them in boiling water for a few minutes until the starchiness is gone.)
- When the risotto has been cooking for 15 minutes, drain the asparagus and add it to the risotto with the peas, lemon zest, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Continue cooking and adding stock, stirring almost constantly, until the rice is tender but still firm.
- Whisk the lemon juice and mascarpone together in a small bowl. When the risotto is done, turn off the heat and stir in the mascarpone mixture plus the Parmesan cheese and chives. Set aside, off the heat, for a few minutes, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and serve hot with a sprinkling of chives and more Parmesan cheese.
LEEK RISOTTO
Creamy italian rice dish that is served as a main course. This is a reduced fat version. I have reduced the amount of oil and cheese used, but you can also sprinkle parmesan over the top once it's served. We make this at least one a week. It's wonderful!

RISOTTO WITH LEMON AND SPRING VEGETABLES
This dish has the fresh flavors of spring and looks so colorful. It can be made into a vegetarian meal by using vegetable broth and leaving out the ham. Since it's so versatile, you can really use whatever vegetables are in season or what your family prefers. -Mary Lou Timpson, Centennial Park, Arizona

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a medium saucepan or lidded skillet over medium heat. Add the leeks and a generous pinch of salt. Cook gently until just about tender, about three minutes. Do not allow the leeks to color. Add the garlic, and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the carrots, water and salt to taste, and bring to a simmer. Cover and simmer 10 to 15 minutes until the carrots are tender when pierced with a knife. Stir in the lemon juice and tarragon. Taste and adjust salt. Transfer to a platter if desired, making sure to scrape out the tasty residue from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon or spatula. Serve hot, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature. If serving at room temperature, sprinkle with additional fresh tarragon just before serving.

- In a dutch oven or stock pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion, leek, and carrots; saute for 3-4 minutes. Add garlic, and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes. You'll want the carrots to be par-cooked, as they'll continue cooking with the risotto. Stir in red pepper flakes and thyme. Add pinches of salt throughout the cooking process to layer flavor!
- Stir in arborio rice to coat with veggies and let toast for about 1 minute. Slowly add wine and stir to combine. Let the wine absorb.
- Add vegetable stock in 1/2 cup increments, stirring between each addition and letting it fully absorb into the rice. Begin testing the rice for doneness after adding approximately 3 cups of stock in total. Continue adding broth and stirring until absorbed until rice reaches the desired level of "al dente" (a bit of chew, but you don't want it hard or crunchy!). I usually end up adding all 4 cups of broth.
- Remove risotto from heat and stir in parmesan cheese and butter until combined. Add additional salt and pepper to taste. Stir in a squeeze of lemon for a bit of brightness and garnish with parsley and/or additional parmesan cheese. Oh, and crispy leeks if you know what's good for you! ;)
