French Fries all'Assassina (Assassin's French Fries)
French fries all'assassina, or assassin's French fries, are inspired by one of Italy's most unusual and delicious pasta recipes, spaghetti all'assassina. Intensely savory from caramelized tomato paste and cheese, with a sweet and sour note followed by a building, spicy heat from cayenne and pepper flakes, these fries are the complete opposite of one-note.
Potatoes and Peppers
Whether roasted or sautéed, potatoes and peppers are a classic — they're easy, filling, and very tasty! I served this as a side with grilled shrimp and corn on the cob and it was a huge hit. It would also be good at breakfast instead of hash browns.
No-Knead Focaccia
I was very excited to try this no-knead focaccia recipe which makes a dough with a lot of water. In fact, this has the highest amount of water used than any other Food Wishes dough. It holds big bubbles in the baked dough and because of the long fermentation time, has a far superior flavor.
