The use of fresh produce that GASTRONOMAD prides themselves on, comes through in this dish. The roasted carrots, pumpkin and blistered heirloom tomatoes are done deliciously well, that each retains its natural crunch and crisp while still cooked all the way through with slightly charred edges. The three tiger prawns that top the dish are also seasoned well and cooked to a plump, juicy texture.
The saffron risotto itself sees spots of chimichurri and the flavours are great — aromatic yet refreshing. The rice however, is just a tad over the firm, al dente texture I’d expect of a good risotto.
