I didn't want to waste anything from white asparagus.
I looked at a German website similar to COOKPAD and German cookbooks.

The recipe I saw used Cheddar cheese with this risotto.

If you use cooked rice, reduce the cooking liquid (or water) amount to 150 ml. Recipe by Popotankobu

Steps

1

[Preparation] Remove the hard skin from the asparagus and cut into 1-cm lengths. I show how to prepare white asparagus
2

[Preparation] Cut the ingredients into 1 cm cubes. Separate the mushrooms into bite sizes. Put the asparagus cooking liquid (or water + butter) and stock into a pot, and heat.
3

Heat the olive oil in a pot and cook the ingredients. Put the chicken and ham in first and then the vegetables and asparagus (put the mushrooms in last).
4

If using uncooked rice add it at this point and cook (You don't need to rinse). If using cooked rice do not add it at this point.
5

When the rice is almost translucent, add the stock you mixed previously. Simmer for 10 minutes until al dente.
6

When the rice is al dente (if using cooked rice add it now) add the milk and cheese (cut into small pieces). Turn the heat to low.
7

When the milk and cheese are blended evenly throughout, season with salt, pepper and parsley. It is done. Guten Appetit.
8

Note: If using sliced cheese choose non-melting type. Look at the comment if you want to know the reason.
9

2 slices of cheese make the risotto quite rich. If you prefer a lighter risotto use half the amount.
10

I used white asparagus cooking liquid with this recipe and the top photo has white asparagus. Originally this recipe was with green asparagus and I changed it. You can use green asparagus of course.

Spargelzeit refers to white asparagus season from April to June in Germany.
