No need to wait for the fresh springtime crop of asparagus to come! Nope - 'cause the secret to the richness of this rice dish is in the can!

What You'll Need

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup long- or whole-grain rice
  • 1 (14-ounce) can ready-to-use chicken broth
  • 1 (15-ounce) can asparagus cuts, drained and mashed (see Note)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

What to Do

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, heat the butter and oil over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until golden. Add the rice and cook for 1 minute, stirring until the rice is coated.

  2. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes.

  3. Add the asparagus, cover, and cook for 5 minutes. Add the Parmesan cheese and stir until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is creamy. Serve immediately.

Notes

It's easy to mash the asparagus - just drain the liquid from the can and, with a fork, mash the asparagus right in the can.
