When asparagus is at the height of its season, it's best to keep things simple – and that's exactly what they do at The River Cafe. Simply simmered and dressed in plenty of good quality olive oil, it comes accompanied by a generous spoonful of anchovy and lemon butter with shavings of Parmesan on top to finish. A blissful starter, side or light lunch.
