Prune

This is less a recipe and more a reminder as to the fact that some nights, simple cheese and bread and olive oil makes a perfectly respectable—enviable, even—supper.

The perfect special occasion recipe—Christmas, birthdays, dinner parties—that comes already wrapped like the gift that it is.

Perfection. That's what we think of this simple yet exquisite melding of pork, butter, salt, and pepper from chef Gabrielle Hamilton.
