Minestrone with Tangerine Kick |
Recipe from Chinese Herbal Cookbook
As
my friend Jon says, “One of the reasons I love food so much is that it’s an
adventure if you go for new things...exotic spices, cuisines from around the
world and ingredients that make you go 'hmmmm'. My most memorable
meals are a symphony of textures and flavors. It's the magic of one flavor picking up where the last left,
harmoniously and at the same time an experience all its own.” Inspired by
Jon, I offer this long-forgotten recipe: Italian style
minestrone with Chinese chen pi, or dried tangerine peel. Tangerine permeates the dish in a subtle but game-changing way.
