The fall weather this week is definitely putting us in the mood for some fall flavors.
Luckily for us, Chef Ross Thompson with G in Rehoboth Beach, Del. joins us in the Kirby and Holloway Kitchen to make two dishes packed with fall flavor!
We’re making an artichoke, asparagus, broccolini risotto with scallops and a chipotle flan.
G in Rehoboth also has a murder mystery dinner coming up on Oct. 26. Go to their Facebook page for more information here.
Artichoke, Asparagus & Broccolini Risotto
Ingredients:
- 1lb Artichoke 1/4’s
