Grilled Octopus Salad with Black-eyed Peas and Linguiça (Mild Portuguese Sausage)

This deceptively easy salad combines ready-to-eat octopus, black-eyed peas and linguiça in a 30-minute dish that would take hours to make from scratch. But no one has to know that. It’s perfect for a late spring or summer gathering outdoors, and hearty enough to serve alone as a light lunch, or as part of aContinue reading “Grilled Octopus Salad with Black-eyed Peas and Linguiça (Mild Portuguese Sausage)”

We opened the windows of our little New York apartment and imagined being outside at the track, crammed next to fellow tifosi, hearing the roar ofContinue reading “Berkshire Pork Ragu Bianco”
