Look at this dish Irene created without me. Usually we cook together but she made it for me two Fridays ago as I drove two hours back after an interview. It’s the sweetest Italian I’ve ever eaten. Could have been a dessert.
It had Sicilian caponata (pureed eggplant, celery, sweet vinegar) with grape tomatoes, artichokes, baby bell peppers and Sicilian tomato sauce with Kalamata olives and Greek dressing. It tasted like Mediterranean fusion candy.
PS. That’s quinoa pasta. I’ve tried every kind of pasta imaginable and this won blue ribbon last Summer. I’ll put my motherland’s food onto this South American grain for the rest of my life. The Incas knew what they were doing.
