Cooking Notes
Have been making a similar dish for many years from Del Nero’s, Risotto : a taste of Milan. No Marsala, but might try it. It is a staple at least twice in fresh strawberry season. Never with California strawberries.
This is an … interesting… flavor profile. I had to use low sodium vs no sodium broth because it was what it had. I tried to adjust by doubling strawberries - which were delicious and very sweet, from the farmers market. Nope. There was still an underlying salt profile. My fault but next time I’ll use no sodium. I also will not splash balsamic at the end, over the asparagus. Too overwhelming. But I will try this recipe again, just with less salt and vinegar taste.
This turned out tasty! I didn't alter it in any way (except perhaps for an extra sprinkle of cheese). It's good just as is. Husband became a fan too! Also: it's a cute pink in color, so it'd make a perfect valentines/anniversary dish.
