Method
Cooking the Risotto
Prepare the Base
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable broth to a gentle simmer over low heat. In a separate large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and garlic, sautéing until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
Add the Arborio Rice
Stir in the Arborio rice and cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly, stirring frequently.
Deglaze with Wine
Pour in the dry white wine, stirring until it is mostly absorbed by the rice.
Incorporate Broth
Begin adding the warm vegetable broth one ladle at a time, stirring continuously and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. This process should take about 18-20 minutes.
Adding Vegetables and Finishing Touches
Add Vegetables
When the rice is al dente and creamy, stir in the asparagus, zucchini, and cherry tomatoes. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
Season the Risotto
Mix in the chopped fresh thyme, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Final Touch
Remove the pot from heat and fold in the grated Parmesan cheese and lemon zest. Stir until creamy and well combined.
