I ASK YOU to do as did I: with your fingers, carefully remove the carrot strips. I find them extraneous, irrelevant, intrusive. I ate them, of course: raw thinly sliced carrot is not in itself disgusting. But it has nothing to do with an otherwise very nice asparagus risotto.
We were in a very pleasant restaurant near our Airbnb. Outside it, actually, on a shaded terrace overlooking the street. It was hot but there was a breeze, and we'd been put at our ease with cocktails — in my case, a Wasatch Sour: Fernet, Green Chartreuse, Zirbenz, Lime, Simple Syrup, according to the menu. Very pleasant to the taste, though a bit unpleasantly brownish to the eye.
The risotto was creamy, a little salty (desirable in this heat!), almost pungent with asparagus flavor. No dessert was needed.
