Servings: persons

4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, diced
2 stalks celery, diced
1 large carrot, peeled and diced
3/4 cup rice, uncooked
½ cups chicken stock
3 ounces pancetta, diced
16 ounces asparagus, fresh
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 cups cooked chicken, diced (optional)
salt
black pepper

1
In a stockpot, saute the diced onion, celery and carrot in 2 Tablespoons of the olive oil, until the onions are translucent, about 8-10 minutes.
2
Stir in the rice and add the chicken stock.
3
Bring the stock to a simmer, cover and cook on low until the rice is tender, about 20 minutes.
4
Meanwhile, wash the asparagus and trim off the woody ends. (Throw them away or use them to make vegetable stock for another recipe.).
5
Slice the asparagus in 1-inch lengths on the bias, collecting the tips separately (because they cook very quickly and will be added last).
6
Heat the remaining 2 Tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet.
7
Saute the pancetta and asparagus pieces (not the tips yet) about 5 minutes, stirring as needed. The idea is to soften the asparagus but not cook it entirely.
8
Add the asparagus tips and saute an additional minute.
9
When the rice in the stock pot is tender, add the lemon juice, diced chicken, and the pancetta/aspargus mixture.
10
Bring to a boil; remove from heat.
11
Season with salt and pepper.
12
Serve.
