Nanakusa Seven Herbs Risotto
Nanakusa (the seven healthy herbs of early spring) is traditionally eaten in early January to cleanse our bodies from weeks of festive feasting. Although they’re mostly eaten as nanakusagayu (a type of rice porridge), I’ve thought up a healthy yet delicious recipe that’s a little less bland!
