Cookbook Project, Book #193
"Comfort & Spice," Niamh Shields
In my Home Alone time, I've been going through recipes and realizing that I have a couple of Cookbook Project entries that I'm way overdue to write up. How far overdue? Well, I used the recipe from this book for Thanksgiving last year. I'm good at getting things done; I just sometimes lag behind in actually acknowledging that I've done them.
I found this book when![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
metaphysick and I were in Martha's Vineyard last fall. There's an adorable little independent bookstore that we wander through every time we visit, and I love the fact that it has books that I've never seen anywhere else. For some reason, this book caught my eye.
It's not glossy or shiny; if anything, it's a rather rough-looking paperback. The cover is an unprocessed gray with orange details, I've never heard of the author, and it doesn't claim to follow any one particular food theme. Heck, there are hardly even any pictures inside. But still, I picked it up to glance through it - and I realized that almost every recipe sounded delicious. It also helped that several of the dinner recipes were sized for two; there's a dearth of good, small-meal cookbooks.
Anyway, I brought it home and immediately bookmarked a handful of recipes to try. The one that won my heart, though, and that I've already made at least twice, is Cannellini Bean Dip with Chorizo.
It's impressively, almost offensively simple. White beans, olive oil, toasted garlic, rosemary, and lemon juice, blended together. The chorizo is browned and used as the substrate for the dip. Simple, super-quick, and mouth-wateringly delicious. I would make it again in a heartbeat.
Now I just need to finish the rest of this project and get back to the rest of the recipes I've bookmarked in here.....
