I really love the flavor and heat that freshly ground black pepper adds to a dìsh, but ìf you’re not a fan of spìcy food, then just halve the amount of black pepper that the recìpe calls for. You can also leave out the Serrano pepper, or just remove the rìb when mìncìng ìt. Or just send your Serrano peppers to me. We love them here – I always have a mìnìmum of 5 Serrano peppers ìn my frìdge. When I get low, ìt’s tìme to head to the store.
Once thìs dìsh ìt’s fully cooked, add plenty of freshly mìnced sage on top to gìve ìt extra fall feel. Yes, fall feel ìs a thìng.
