Preparation steps
1.
Heat half the butter in a wide pan and gently fry the onion until soft but not brown.
2.
Add the rice, stir for 2 minutes then add the wine and cook until it has evaporated. Add one ladleful of stock, simmer gently stirring all the time until the stock has been absorbed, then add the bay leaf and the rest of the stock, one ladleful at a time, until the risotto is creamy but the rice still retains a little bite. It will take about 15-20 minutes.
3.
Heat the rest of the butter in a clean pan and gently fry the mushrooms for 2 minutes. Add the courgette, cook for 2 minutes then add the asparagus and peas. Cover and cook for about 4 more minutes, until the vegetables are cooked but still retain a little bite. Add a little water if necessary. At the end of cooking time remove the lid to let the liquid evaporate.
4.
Add the cooked vegetables to the risotto, stir in the parmesan and parsley and season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
