Cauliflower with Brown Butter and Breadcrumbs

Cooked cauliflower florets are coated in melted butter and topped with dried breadcrumbs. In my opinion, a far tastier — and healthier — snack than potato chips.

Stoned Chicken

This recipe pays homage to a truly ancient method of cooking meat, whereby two heavy stones were heated and a piece of meat or vegetables with lamb fat (kurdyuk) was squashed between the stones. Chicken never tasted so good!
