Asparagus and lemon risotto from The Kitchen Diaries I: A Year in the Kitchen with Nigel Slater (page 176) by Nigel Slater

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

    very nice but you could also substitute another vegetable as the asparagus is more for texture than taste

    I enjoyed this -- the lemon makes it a bit different from a standard risotto. If you're not a lemon freak like me, you might want to start with less lemon juice, taste, and add more if desired. A useful way of stretching a small quantity of less than perfect asparagus.
