Escudella (and an apology...)

Folks, it has been just too hot and busy to cook this summer! I even made escudella, this amazing Andorran stew (in 90+ degree heat) that's the country's national dish, but never managed to sit down and write it up! And for that, I'm very sorry...

I prepared it by sort of combining this recipe and this recipe, but I also changed the cooking method so that I wasn't going to have a pot on the stove for 3 hours. It was a moderate success, but a little bland for my taste. But, that means, most people would probably love it! I've got a serious penchant for spice...

At any rate, I'm just going to have to pick this little experiment back up in a month or two, once the weather cools and the days shorten and I'm itchin' to get back in the kitchen!

Until then, hope you're all enjoying the summer. If you can, help out your neighbors in need and donate to your local food pantry (here's our region's). And, be well!

Cheers!
