Instructions
  1. Over medium heat, heat oil with 2 tbsp. of butter in a deep pan until butter has melted. Stir in onion and sundried tomatoes, stirring for five minutes until the onions are soft. Do not brown. Lower the heat, add the rice and mix to coat in the oil and butter. Cook and stir for two-three minutes until the grains of rice are translucent. Add the wine, stirring constantly, until it has reduced. Add the stock gradually, one ladleful at a time. Stir constantly and add more ladles as the rice absorbs each ladle. Raise the heat to medium so the liquid bubbles. Cook for 20 minutes, or until all the liquid is absorbed. Season to taste. While the risotto is cooking, cut asparagus into one inch pieces. Gently fold the asparagus into the risotto during the last five minutes of cooking time. Remove from heat and add the rest of the butter. Stir in Parmigiano until it melts. Garnish with whole asparagus spears and sprinkle with lemon rind.

  3. Preheat broiler. Peel the cooled potato and cut into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.

Instructions
  1. Preheat broiler.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk oil, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and a pinch of each salt and pepper until combined. Set aside.
  3. Quarter the radicchio and cut into wedges. Gently swirl in a bowl of water and drain in a colander. Brush sides of each wedge with some of the oil mixture. Arrange on a broiler pan and place about five inches below the heat source. Cook, watching closely, until slightly charred, about 3 ½ to five minutes. Baste the wedges with more of the oil mixture, turn and cook for another two-four minutes until they become a deep brown color, crisp yet tender inside.
  4. hinly cut the radicchio crosswise. Place a dry griddle over medium-high heat and brush with some butter. Spread one side of the tortilla with one-third of the tapenade. Place on the griddle, tapenade side up. Sprinkle one-third of the grated cheese. Make sure to leave a ¼ inch border around the outside of the tortilla. Top with one-third of the radicchio and thyme and a generous amount of pepper. Top with another tortilla and brush with more butter. Press down with a spatula and cook until the cheese begins to melt until the other side is golden brown, about three-five minutes. Flip and cook on other side for another two minutes. Transfer to a 200˚F oven to keep warm while you make the other tortillas. Cut each quesadilla into six wedges and serve.
