Vegetarian Star

Tom Colicchio has seen a lot of interesting meals pass his way during his stint as a Top Chef judge. That’s why it’s incredible he mentioned a vegetarian dish as being one of the most memorable–for a good reason.

Colicchio told TV Guide, “Michael Voltaggio made banana-asparagus risotto for the vegetarian challenge and it was really good. It’s usually the dishes I’m surprised by where I say to myself, “I don’t know how that’s going to work,” and then the chef can pull it off.”

Bananas and rice? How does one pull that off? Maybe with peppers, onions and vegan cheese, as the combination that’s called for in this Banana Risotto Recipe. The asparagus is missing, but that shouldn’t prevent you from taking a 1/2 pound or so, blanching them and throwing them in.
