  • I was at the market already so it was pretty hard to resist the lamb chops from 3-Corner Field Farm. It’s lambing season soon and they won’t be back in the market until June. I picked up four chops that cost $30 with a big knob of sheep’s milk cheese covered in herbs de Provence.…

  • I returned to Chinatown and easily picked up tongue or lengua [leng-gwah]. I picked the veal’s tongue because, well, the pig’s tongue looked like a part of the male anatomy. There is another Spanish-influenced dish, lengua estofada, but I wanted a dish that was more appropriate for spring, so I decided to make something lighter.…
