Chicken Fricassée with porcini mushrooms, white wine and tomatoes

 

Lovely. Was worried about liquid quantity - 2 cups, for rehydrating mushrooms. I wonder if she puts that much in in later recipes for porcini. But I reduced it at the end, as instructed. Delicious sauce. Earthy. Some grit. Will wash better next time. 

I see Giuliano Hazan has a different version in his How to Cook Italian (this is from Essentials), so I will try that another time. 

Marcella has another in Says I think, or Cucina. 

Frittata with green beans

 

Overcooked the eggs on the bottom. Not sure why. I think it's because Marcella cooks it all the way through, almost. Just a few seconds under the grill, she says. It's never a few seconds for me, no matter how much I cook them. I think next time I'll cook it less on the stove, and more under the grill, to reduce the risk of overcooking the bottom. 

Guilano says to grill till brown. Marcella says do not brown. Evolution...

This little beauty would go with most things. Be sure to follow the instructions and peel them.
