Market Madness

I went a little nuts at the market yesterday.

It was one of those seductive summer days: warm, but not too hot. A bit breezy. The heaps of fresh produce were too, too much to resist.

Check out my little bouquet of alliums: chive blossoms and green garlic. The chive flowers will make their way into salads and maybe a stirfry. The garlic makes it way into everything for as long as its in the market.

Last night did a spring risotto with green garlic and sorrel as the base flavors then a bit of prosciutto. As a last minute what-the-hell addition I threw in some fresh English peas. They added a nice fresh accent to the creamy richness of the base risotto.
