Steak with garlic scape risotto

Everyone at the farmer's market is selling garlic scapes so I bought a few bunches.

 

I looked up a few recipes for making risotto with the scapes but they usually involved starting them in the pan with the sofritto and cooking them with the rice the whole time. This would make them kinda brown and dead.

 

So i decided to sauté them quick then take them out and puree them while the rice cooked. Then folded in at the end so they kept their bright green colour.

 

Steak is flank steak marinated in soya sauce, herbs and such. Served with a salad of which half the greens were grown on the patio.

 

Excuse the juice running accross the plate. I was swinging the plate around and didnt notice. ;) And the risotto should be runnier.
