4. Cut pork collar into lardons and fry in a little rapeseed oil until golden.
5. Cut asparagus ends off and with the peas blanche in salted boiling water for 2-3 minutes until al dente.
6. Stir the pork and vegetables through the rice. Add spinach and most of the grated cheese (and more liquid if needed). Finally, add in a few small knobs of butter to emulsify the rice.

To make up to 2 days in advance, spread the cooked risotto rice base thinly onto a baking tray and store in the fridge.
