At first this felt like a lame episode of “Chopped”: “Your mystery basket includes sage and walnuts, and you won’t get credit for pesto.” Well, I wouldn’t do a pesto anyway. But one of my favorite ways to use sage is to dust it with a little flour and then fry it in brown butter. Walnuts are grown locally. But then where to go from there? Okay, we went with a risotto.
