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 >

Anchovy Chicken with Lemon and Capers : page 46

Very good.
I had 500g of sb chicken thighs, almost a whole recipe and the two of us easily finished it all.
Garlic is almost a vegetable here.
Quick and yummy.

Anchovy Lamb Chops with Capers and Garlic : page 76

These were very good. Small problems with the recipe itself.
- For four people, the recipe asks for 4 lamb chops. Don't you usually have three or four per person?
- My chops would have been happier cooked 2.5 minutes per side, rather than 3 and 5.
- Would be better to finely chop the anchovy fillets to help with their dissolving into the sauce.
Altogether very nice. The lemon juice was not something I would expect with lamb, but the sauce was good.

Harissa Chicken with Leeks, Potatoes and Yogurt : page 51

I made this off the web and it was fantastic. (I apparently have this book. Where is it hiding?)

Pan-Fried Asparagus with Lemon Zest : page 376

Very good.
The asparagus didn't get done in 5 minutes. In the end, I added bits of water and covered for another 5min or so.

4.5 even.
These were delicious. The title is odd, since sumac is an option garnish, not a part of the recipe proper. I made a half recipe; it took the full amount of ice water to get the tahini sauce anywhere close to drizzle-ability. (But it was very tasty.)
