2019’s second tent event, a chef’s demo by Chef Station’s Elio Romero, was a delicious, seasonal success. Here’s the recipe for his wonderful creation.
One of the great things about a recipe like this is that, as ingredients fall out of season, you can swap out almost anything in the recipe, except for the eggs!
