Lemon, Coriander & Fennel Risotto
Seasonal produce makes for the freshest tasting dishes – and if you’ve got your hands on a fennel bulb, look no further than this delicious fennel recipe. Our fennel risotto really brings out the sweet anise-like flavours of the bulb, especially when paired with lemony coriander leaf. If you’re wondering how to cook fennel, just think of it like an onion and slice it thinly, removing the root at the end. Discard the shoots, but leave the green tips – they’re perfect as a garnish. Double cream, white wine and Parmesan add an indulgent edge to this risotto, which is perfect for any occasion.
