Instructions:

Peel the asparagus spears, rinse the peels and cut ends very thoroughly in cold water and boil with two liters of water in the asparagus pot. Season the water with one eighth of the juice of a lemon, salt, white wine and sugar, lightly bubble. First cook the green asparagus until al dente, then the white asparagus. Cool the asparagus and cut into bite-sized pieces. Strain the asparagus stock, reheat the cooking stock, if necessary season it strongly with a bit of organic grained broth and keep it from boiling. In a large saucepan, sauté shallots in olive oil until translucent, add long-grain rice and sauté, extinguish with one-eighth white wine, add 1 ladle hot asparagus broth and stir long-grain rice until almost all liquid is absorbed, then repeatedly add 1 ladle clear soup and continue stirring. Continue in this manner until the long grain rice is cooked (about 20 min). After 12 min, add the asparagus sections. After 20 min, add butter and grated Parmesan cheese. Bring to the table on heated deep plates, decorate with parmesan shavings and bacon slices. Drink recommendation:

Beverage recommendation: a Riesling from the Nahe region, dry and chilled.

Our tip: Use bacon with a fine, smoky note!
