However, today in Tesco Bb spotted a bunch of asparagus reduced to 86p

I also had a bag of these lovely little sweet peppers (each about 2" long), which I'd used before for this Waitrose recipe
here
That recipe's for a main course, using full-sized peppers btw

Anyways. I decided on a River Café risotto recipe, for risotto primavera, which used asparagus, courgette, green beans and peas, but did it with just asparagus and courgette, and did rather less than 1/3 of the recipe..
And did 3 of the little peppers as per the W/rose recipe.
And - how lucky could we get? - last week I got a black olive loaf reduced to 15p in Tesco

It was all absolutely gorgeous

Ps - That W/rose recipe is wrong, and it held me up while I scratched my head wondering if I was being stupid

It definitely says 6 peppers, halved, and 6 tomatoes, halved - and then says put 2 tomato halves in each pepper half
