Asparagus, Mint and Lemon Risotto

October 9, 2024

There’s nothing like fresh asparagus, and in New Zealand, we are extremely lucky (for a very limited time) to get it straight from the garden to the table. This Jamie Oliver risotto recipe takes the best of spring fresh flavours, marrying fresh mint, asparagus and lemon, all currently in season and at their tastiest. Easy to make, delicious to eat, if you wanted to add some protein, you could always throw in some cooked bacon, or some hot smoked salmon would also taste spectacular alongside this rice dish.
