Step 1
Prepare the risotto according to the master recipe, #312, swapping the vegetable broth and 1 cup of the cream for the stock (reserve 1/2 cup cream).

Peel the asparagus ends and steam the spears for 6 to 7 minutes. Grill the sausages on a hot grill pan or in a large skillet to heat through. Remove the sausages and sear the asparagus on the grill or in the skillet. Slice both the asparagus and andouille into small disks on a slight angle.
