This risotto—made with fresh asparagus and lemon zest—is a great addition to your spring table, either as a side dish or as a main course. A traditionally-made risotto is somewhat labor-intensive, requiring at least 25 to 30 minutes of active stirring. So we were happy to learn you can make this dish on the Traeger, and that it requires stirring only once during the cooking time. If your local supermarket does not carry Arborio rice, you can easily find it online. (Do not substitute common long grain rice: Arborio is a special strain, and absorbs several times its weight in liquid when cooked.)
