First
What kind of skillet is best for this cold start technique in this recipe? Nonstick? Cast iron?
Two things. First, blending the herbs in a vitamix for 2 minutes would cook them. And second, if the type of salt is so important, which brand of kosher salt? Diamond and Morton are very different.
I’m dreaming of the day when ATK will use metric measurements. Maybe you could at least release the cooking book that way for the rest of the world?
