Nothing Fancy: Unfussy Food for Having People Over

Product Information

Second try- super low heat and only toasted the red pepper flakes, frequently removing from the heat and giving it a swirl to try to infuse as much flavor without burning. I added the onions about 5-7 min in, and then the cilantro right at the end! I love this salad because it is super fresh and flavorful. The bold spice of the fresh chiles, toasty nuttiness of the sesame seeds and bright crunch of the celery are all so satisfying. I have to admit, on first glance the book is anything but Nothing Fancy. But, I rate cookbooks by how many recipes I copy to try later. I believe I would cook a good number of these. I think I have most items in my pantry, and I would estimate them to be reasonably simple to prepare. Honestly, this gets 5 stars because of her COPIOUS commitment to anchovies and her unapologetic writing style. Toast the sesame seeds in a small skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and starting to pop, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside. 2.
