Piquillos with brandade

Eastside Road, September 9, 2010 —
I AM AS LUCKY a guy as I know for more reasons than I can imagine. At the head of the list, my wife; among her many qualities, those of an excellent cook. The other day she saw some handsome piquillo peppers at the Farmers Market in Healdsburg, and she remembered this recipe. #alttext#She's not only a good cook; she's a thoughtful and resourceful provider. There was some salt cod in the icebox; we always have garlic and potatoes on hand; there's no shortage of olive oil. Piece of cake.

With the stuffed peppers, as you see, garlic-rubbed oil-drizzled toast and broad beans. Afterward, the green salad. Forever, my heartfelt thanks, for this and so much else.
