In case you’ve forgotten about this gem, my favorite Fine Cooking recipe of all time is Nancy Verde Barr’sMediterranean Sausage Ragout. It’s a stew made with sausage, chickpeas, carrots, onions, marinara sauce, fresh ginger, and lots of spices, and it’s literally the perfect warming fare for a cold winter night. (An added benefit: you have to makemarinara sauceto make the recipe, which gives you lots of leftover sauce for the freezer.) Over the weekend, I didn’t have any chickpeas onhand, so I subbed in cannellini beans, as you can see here, which also worked nicely.
