A delicious plate of Lemon Asparagus Risotto with a browned leek butter sauce

Lemon Asparagus Risotto

Preparation Time: 10 mins
Cooking Time: 35 mins
Calories per Serving: 1350 kcal

This dish, lemon asparagus risotto, is a beautiful use of seasonal asparagus, and leeks, the creaminess of the rice as it cooks down slowly. The lemon cuts through that richness, and allows the earthiness of the vegetables to shine. Combined with the bite of the cheese crisp, this creates a textural variation that makes every bite a new experience.

Note: Parmesan contains rennet, so be sure to check the label to make sure that it says suitable or vegetarians, or alternatively you can use a semi hard cheese like Gouda for a similar experience.

Pesto and Mozzerlla Puff (pastry) Christmas Trees

Pesto and Puff Pastry Trees

Preparation Time: 8 mins
Cooking Time: 13 mins
Calories per Serving: 884 kcal
Yield: 8 - 12 puff pastry trees

Delicate, flaky layers of golden puff pastry filled with a rich, aromatic pesto spread make for a stunning and delicious pesto and puff pastry trees. Each pastry is brushed with a light egg wash for extra shine and topped with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan and a few toasted pine nuts for added crunch. The vibrant green of the pesto, made with fresh basil, garlic, and Parmesan, contrasts beautifully with the warm, crisp pastry shell. Serve these savory bites warm from the oven, garnished with a few fresh basil leaves for a pop of color, making an elegant, crowd-pleasing appetizer for any gathering.
