Cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the beans have soaked up all that scallop-y business and are looking impossibly tasty.

I love adding the beans and returning them to a significantly hotter oven to absorb the crazy flavorful pork fat

If you can, go to Oaxaca and have the real deal.

From the book that gave you Anchovy Butter Chicken and The Cookies. Published in 2017! Were we ever so young?

Something from Nothing

From the book that gave you Blueberry Cornmeal Tart and Old Fashioned Strawberry Cake. Published in 2023, this is the third book in the collection. Mostly desserts, yes, but also some baking that is quite savory (Tomato Tart with Crispy Capers and Garlic, savory scones, etc).
