We liked it, didn’t love it. So I am not sure if we’d make it again. I think capers would be a really nice addition.
Oh I would definitely pick the blonde puttanesca! We loved that and I have already repeated it.

Oh yeah. I’ve been suggesting a spaghetti dish with onions, capers, tuna, mabez even artichoke hearts, but my PIC just immediately says “no hot tuna.” I think it would be a grrrrrreat combo.
He’ll have a tuna salad sammich with a slice of cheese, but no tuna melts. Le sigh.

Cheese on a cold tuna sandwich sounds weird to me, but whatever floats his boat. My sister-in-law apparently likes HP sauce on hers. Takes all kinds, I guess (silently judging).

SKY HIGH FOCACCIA
One of the signature recipes in SFAH was the Ligurian Focaccia. This recipe makes several changes for a taller focaccia. Lots more steps, and no brine at the end.
There’s a lot of fussing and timing required here — mainly because she has added several rounds of slap & fold to get more height. But I think it will work even with jus 1 or 2 of slap & folds before it goes into the fridge, or after it comes out. Going to try that on the next one — I’ve started dough for another already!
I had to cut short my proving time at the end because I was going to be late for dinner otherwise, so it didn’t end up as tall as she intends, but it was a very good focaccia nonetheless — tender and delicious.
I added rosemary and chilli flakes into the dough for flavor, and some caramelized onions and more chilli flakes on top.
I scaled down to 1 cup flour, which fit into a loaf pan perfectly. 12 mins at 400F.

KUKU SABZI (SFAH)
I love this versatile vegetable and egg dish.
Lots of herbs and greens (or whatever other vegetable you like) are sauteed down, then barely bound by eggs and baked or cooked stovetop gently till set.
I used frozen spinach and scallions this time, with garlic, onions, and red pepper flakes. I realized belatedly that it could have taken even more spinach than I loaded in.
This is delicious warm, room temp, and cold, on its own, or with yogurt / labne, with or without hot sauce, and with or without an accompanying bready carb.
2 eggs fit an eighth pan, but I’ve made mini muffins in the past too.
