Asparagus risotto | Rižot od šparoga

Oh you Istria lovers, have I got something for you! It's another recipe from the famed region of truffles, olive oil and yes, asparagus. Growing up in Sydney, it's crazy to think that I've spent more time on Istrian beaches (thank you uncle, aunty and cousins) than beaches in Australia. But hey, I'm not complaining!

After these beach visits, my cousin Marijan would go off to pick wild white asparagus (an Istrian classic) and now that I think about it, I never asked him where he actually went. He'd go off (somewhere) and when he got back there were two baskets laden with those white buttery stalks which would then be lightly boiled and served with butter or added to a risotto.

Those stalks weren't the same as these Aussie ones, but that's ok because this recipe is still tasty and amazing even if the key ingredient isn't from Istria.

Let me know if you try this recipe and what you thought

Dobar Tek! Zivjeli! (Bon Appetit! Cheers and let's live!)
