Notes
- Recipe minimally adapted, with permission, from Dishing Up the Dirt by Andrea Bemis.
- Make it vegan: Use maple syrup instead of honey.
- Andrea’s tip: When chopping fresh herbs like cilantro, dill, and parsley, there’s no need to separate the leaves from the tender stems—chop everything! The stems offer a lot of flavor and texture.
