I enjoy your grocery shopping videos and seeing these recipes under $25. This one looks tasty. Going to try it.

Thank you for the comment, Billy, about elegance and old world dishes. My parents grew up during the Great Depression and my mother said one thing they didn't lack were some really elegant and delicious meals made with items purchased with ration coupons and basic staples. Even today, you can make elegant things like a Pavolva or panna cotta or even a dark chocolate tart for just a few dollars and all of them will wow your guests or family.

Wow!! That sauce oozing out of there was incredible. I’ve never seen this dish made before, and I’ve definitely never had it. That was really cool.

[lauraspottiswood]

Followed this recipe. Delish!!! Thanks for this video! Love your recipes!

[jeanettebarr]

Absolutely beautiful. Super super great. I’ll definitely give this a try. I might like a little citrus flavoring on the carrots, maybe orange zest and a bit of juice. My college roommate, of Armenian descent, taught me to make rice pilaf. It must have broke vermicelli noodles. Yum. Can’t wait. Wish I could give more than 1-thumbs up. Here goes 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

I made whole live fire roasted lake salmon in Montana and served over rice pilaf. Rice pilaf is such a classic!

I love those thin organic carrots you can buy (I have found them really cheap in some areas) brushed with duck fat over a bed of fresh thyme and seasoned with fresh ground pepper and salt. I cook them on parchment paper at around 375 for 20 or 25 minutes. I don't care if you think you hate carrots these carrots are top tier and you can eat the crispy thyme cooked with duck fat. /faint

FYI any veg from okra to broccoli to mushrooms to ramps to fiddleheads to asparagus to green beans to radishes is going to be good on a bed of fresh thyme with duck fat. Try it, you'll like it! FFS try roasting kale with duck fat! OMG.

Happy cooking everyone!
