Risotto

This spring risotto is made with seasonal white asparagus, which has a milder flavour compared to it's green counterpart. It works perfectly paired with sharp pecorino cheese and the nutty, almost woody hazelnuts, cut through with a dashing of balsamic vinegar to meld all the flavours together. 

This recipe was created by our friends at Giuseppe Giusti.

  3. At the end, turn off the heat and add two tablespoons of butter and the Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
