Risotto with favas, peas & mushroom + Tyler Florence's Cauliflower Gratin

Had a leftover baguette from Friday night's dinner with friends.  It was too dry to make more bruschetta so turned it into bread crumbs in the vitamix and used it to top a cauliflower gratin recipe by Tyler Florence in his book Start Fresh.  We love everything we have made out of this cookbook.

Risotto was:
  • olive oil
  • butter
  • diced onion
  • minced garlic
  • grated nutmeg
  • shelled fresh favas
  • shelled fresh peas
  • criminis 
  • fresh parmesan
  • white wine
  • vegetarian broth
  • arborio rice
  • fresh basil
  • salt & pepper to taste

I made a quick salad of herbed lettuce mix, grapefruit, avocado, marcona almonds, feta, and a fresh lemon-thyme, honey and champagne vinaigrette.
