I discovered this recipe on The Splendid Table last week, and oh my did it have my mouth watering as I listened to Ashley Moore beautifully describe the lovely flavors of this delicate spring recipe. Cooking veggies low and slow brings out a unique set of flavors that pair wonderfully with this savory, yet zesty and light braising liquid.
