Vegetable Risotto

This is so yummy!  It's a recipe that I can't get the link to upload (sorry) so I'll try to describe it!  You heat 2 cups of chicken broth in a small sauce pan.  In a skillet you sauté mushrooms until tender and then set aside on a plate.  In the same pan you sauté an onion in some olive oil until tender then add 1/2 cup arborio rice.  Let it toast around a bit and then add 1 cup of the warmed chicken broth.  Once the liquid is absorbed (cover and let simmer about 12 minutes for this to happen), add some chopped asparagus and 1/4 cup broth.  Let liquid absorb again (this time uncovered and stirring).  Add 1/2 cup frozen peas and the rest of the broth.  Stir and stir over low heat until most of liquid is absorbed.  Add back in the mushrooms and the juice of one lemon.  Remove from heat and also add some fresh basil, 1T butter, and lots of parmesan.  Salt and pepper to taste.  It was sooooo good!
