Every Wednesday Fresh City Farms drops off their amazing bags of organic veggies for their members in the neighbourhood. This week veteran chef Aland Portillo (filling in for local culinary foodster Dustin Jude) is at The Dep with a plan to turn a surprise mix of local organic veggies into a mouth-watering meal.

Built on a rich traditional risotto base of Arborio rice, white wine, vegetable stock and Parmesan Reggiano, Dustin will quickly roast the veggies to bring out their colours and flavours and toss them into the warm, creamy rice. Garnished with fresh herbs, more grated Parmesan and a twist of black pepper, it’s about as delightful an experience as you can have in public.
