She’d tell me that this recipe had been passed down from her mother and grandmother before her, and that it was a true testament to the love and care that went into every single dish they made. As I grew older, I began to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of this recipe, and I’ve made it my own by adding a few tweaks here and there.
