Vegan lemon risotto with green asparagus & roasted almonds

The vegan lemon risotto with green asparagus & roasted almonds impresses with its fresh citrus notes, the creaminess of the risotto and the crunchy bite of the almonds. The green asparagus adds a pleasant vegetable freshness, while the almonds provide a subtle roasted note.
Perfect wine accompaniment
Vermentino, Grüner Veltliner or a mineral Chardonnay ideally complement the dish with their fruity acidity and fine herbal aromas.
➡ A perfect, light spring or summer dish with a vegan twist!
