Feeding a family of big eaters is expensive! When I find a meat-free meal they enjoy, it helps the weekly budget. This risotto is the kind of dish that can be made if there are the very barest of essentials in the cupboard. It has light flavours to match the season. I do have to pay attention to the pot, but only for half an hour, so it’s no drama.
This is spring in a dish – asparagus, watercress, new potatoes and steamed fish – simply prepared and well-flavoured. If you have a stacking steamer (I use a bamboo steamer; they’re available at little cost from Asian stores) you can cook everything in it.
