Vegetable Risotto

As we're nearing the end of our 90210 Season One run, I'm going to try and catch up on some of my recipes.  This one is from when we did the episode "One on One", it is a version Barefoot Contessa's Spring Green Risotto.

Ingredients:
Olive oil
butter
1 cup of chopped leeks
1 cup chopped fennel
1 1/4 cup Arborio rice
2/3 cup white wine
5 cups of stock (I had game stock from the onion soup)
blanched, chopped asparagus
10 oz. frozen peas
1 tablespoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/3 cup mascarpone
1/2 cup grated parmesan
chopped chives
salt
pepper

Saute the leeks and fennel in the olive oil and butter until soft, then add the rice and saute another minute or 2.  Add the white wine and when it is absorbed, begin adding the stock a ladle at a time.  Wait until it is absorbed before adding the next ladle.  Then add the asparagus, peas, lemon zest, and salt and pepper to taste.  If it needs it, add more stock (mine did).  Whisk the mascarpone and lemon juice togther and add to the risotto, then add parmesan and chives.
