Maybe I could be Queen for a Day!


I really like this recipe, Michael - I love the complexity of the flavors and I can only imagine the depth that the simmering brings. Interesting composition...it's like the perfect comfort food but lifted to a higher level - and that is where the soul and spirit (as you mentioned) gets sustenance, too. And the mint chiffonade at the end is genious.

Anyone would feel most fortunate to be the guest at this meal....

Thanks for sharing and inspiring, m'dear...
