Prawn and Asparagus Risotto
Whipping up this deliciously authentic Prawn and Asparagus Risotto recipe is a simple treat. Once you’ve cooked your onion and garlic in our flavoursome Bertolli with Butter and Olive Oil, add your rice and white wine, before pouring in stock ladle by ladle, each time waiting until it has been absorbed. Your asparagus, prawns, and the zest of a lemon go in five minutes before the end of cooking time, then stir in Parmesan and parsley. Add Parmesan curls for decoration, and you’re ready to serve.
