Risotto as runway, asparagus as lasers, tomatoes as incidents: news plated for dinner.
A rectangular baking dish as a runway, with sharp lemon risotto and grilled green asparagus as 'laser beams'. Five bright cherry tomatoes mark the incidents, while a strip of fried chicken breast marks the approach route. Sour and sharp, with a tense plating that clearly refers to the news.
