Pasta e Fagioli from Essentials of Classic Italian Cooking

An easy and delicious soup. I used lardons for the meat. We were thinking that chicken sausages would be good, saucisse de volaille or merguez de volaille, cut in quarters lenghtwise, then into little... read more >

Very yum. Very easy.

I doubled this recipe, which supposedly serves 1. We bought thought the servings were much too big. In the future, I'll make a single serving in two dishes. (Or maybe a double recipe in four dishes so we can have it on two nights.)

Very good and very easy. The touch of cayenne is nice, just right of a tingle, but nothing really hot.

Confit Duck Leg Pozole

Very tasty, but very fat.

I doubled the recipe for two. My husband thought it was too much; I thought the serving size was fine. I probably gave him the larger half, but he usually doesn't complain about these things.

I bought a can with duck duck legs confit. There is an incredible amount of fat in such a thing. Getting the skin off the legs was rather difficult because it was well melded with the fat. In retrospect, I think it might have been better to warm the contents of the can to melt the fat, then lift the legs out.

The crispy bit of rendered skin were a nice touch on the final dish.

My hominy/pozole was yellow instead of white and don't think that made a scrap of difference.

This is quite easy to make and the instructions are clear.
