Chef Rachel has gone and knocked it out of the ballpark once again. This risotto is one of our best yet, combining warmth with the freshness of fennel and a pinch of lemon zest. We recommend getting a pestle & mortar for the kitchen so you can grind up the fennel seeds (they also look great on the kitchen counter). But if you don’t have one don’t worry - wrap the fennel seeds in a bit of clingfilm and WHACK them with the bottom of a saucepan. If anyone thinks you’ve lost your temper, give them a stern look at point towards the washing up.
