To make the stock, put all the ingredients and 1.25L water into a large saucepan. Bring to the boil, then reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 25 minutes. Strain through a fine sieve. Taste for seasoning. Use as below, chill for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
For the risotto, bring the stock to boil in a medium pan. Trim off the asparagus tips. Cut ½ the stalks into 0.5cm slices and set aside with the tips. Roughly chop the rest. Cook the roughly chopped stalks in the stock for about 5 minutes, until soft. Remove, then cool under a cold tap. Drain and transfer to a blender. Add the basil leaves and 1-2 tbsp stock, then purée until smooth.
Boil the asparagus tips and sliced stalks for 2 minutes. Remove, then cool and drain as before. Reduce the stock to a low simmer.
Melt the butter in a large, deep pan over a medium heat. Add the salad onions and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened. Tip in the rice, stirring occasionally until glossy, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the wine, allow to evaporate, then add the warm stock, a ladle at a time, stirring occasionally. Wait until each ladle evaporates before adding more.
Continue for 25-30 minutes, using between 1-1.2L stock, until the rice is tender but with a bit of bite. Stir in the asparagus purée, cooked stalks and tips and the parmesan. Check the seasoning. Cover with the lid, then leave to rest off the heat for a few minutes to allow the cheese to melt. Serve scattered with more basil leaves.
