INSTRUCTIONS

Heat the olive oil is a large saucepan over high heat until very hot. Add
the garlic and shallots and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the
rice and saute for about 2 minutes to toast. Add enough of the stock to
cover the rice and cook, stirring constantly. When the stock has been
absorbed, add more hot stock. Repeat the process until the rice is very al
dente, 10 to 12 minutes. When the rice is just al dente, about 5 minutes,
add the asparagus, tomatoes, and basil. If needed, add more stock. When the
last stock has been absorbed, add the corn and about 1/2 cup of the
Parmesan cheese and mix well. Season to taste with salt and pepper and
place in a large serving bowl or on individual plates. Sprinkle the
remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, the lemon zest, olive oil, and
reserved fresh basil over the top and serve hot.

“We can do nothing, we say sometimes, we can only pray. That, we feel, is a terribly precarious second-best. So long as we can fuss and work and rush about, so long as we can lend a hand, we have some hope; but if we have to fall back upon God — ah, then things must be critical indeed! #A.J. Gossip”
