Saffron Risotto with Asparagus
This was prompted by a repeat of Heston Blumenthal's mad risotto episode I saw last night. I knew I'd get asparagus in my box today so sometime during today I made up my mind.
All I did was a basic risotto but this time with a generous pinch of saffron in the stock which gave it a wonderful colour and slightly earthy taste. The asparagus was just seasoned with salt and pepper and steamed until tender but still crunchy. I arranged the asparagus on a pool of risotto and for some extra indulgence added some parmesan shavings and a drizzle of truffle-infused olive oil. It was absolutely divine.

You'd be welcome but I'd have to find some way of wedging a second chair at my table, I have NO space...
