Asparagus recipes

Perfectly steamed British asparagus spears served alongside a glossy, buttery hollandaise sauce is the definitive celebration of the short UK asparagus season. This iconic pairing needs nothing else to be utterly magnificent. Use the freshest spears you can find — ideally harvested that day from a local grower.

A silky, vibrantly green risotto that uses both the tips and stalks of asparagus to maximum effect — the stalks are blended into the stock for flavour and colour while the tender tips are stirred in at the last moment. It is a labour of love that rewards patience with a truly spectacular result.
