To blanch asparagus, cook in lightly salted,
boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and place under
cold, running water to stop the cooking process.
Risotto is an elegant dish but can be high in
carbohydrates, so for those looking to control
their blood sugar levels, it is best served as
a side dish alongside a lean protein instead of
as a main course.
