Servings: persons

1
In a small bowl, pour A1/2 cup of boiling water over the dried mushrooms, let sit for 10-15 minutes.
2
Snap off the ends of the asparagus where they break naturally. Peel the stems if necessary. Cut off the tips and set them aside. Chop the stems into 1a long pieces.
3
Bring the water and stock to a simmer in a saucepan.
4
Heat the oil in a heavy saucepan. Add the onion and cook gently until it is translucent. Add the rice and asparagus and cook, stirring, about 5 minutes. Add the wine, allow nearly all of it to evaporate, then add porcini mushrooms and soaking liquid. Slowly add the broth mix to the rice, about 1/4 cup at a time, adding a ladleful at a time as the liquid in the pan evaporates. Cook, stirring, until the risotto is plump and offers a little resistance to the bite. The risotto should be very moist. Stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
