Prawn and Asparagus
Risotto
If vegetables could talk, you’d have a job keeping asparagus quiet. With an illustrious culinary history dating back to 20,000 BC (Yup, that’s four zeros), it’s the grandaddy of the local allotment. Perhaps most curious though, is why it was so popular amongst French monks, given its reputation as an aphrodisiac*. Never ones to pry, we’re just happy to include it in this fantastic springtime risotto alongside our fresh tiger prawns from James Knight of Mayfair. Best enjoyed al fresco (light jumper optional), with something fizzy and cold.

Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.
