Perhaps what is comforting to me may not be comforting to you, but how can you not find comfort from a dish that transports you back to the place you came from? How can you not find pleasure from the familiar scent of favorite food that reminds you of your childhood or your mom? That is what âcomfort foodâ meant to meâuntil now.
The recipe that Iâm about to share with you is none of those things. Itâs not a recipe from my childhood or something my mom used to make. Most likely, these ingredients have met in a lot of other recipes before. Thereâs nothing unique about this recipe, and yet, in the past three months since we been making it, we have adored every bite of it every single time we gathered in our kitchen to eat it.
The smell of the garlic with olive oil, tomato, and cayenne pepper all stand out by themselves. They donât compete but instead, seem to complement each other in a strange way. However, what I love the most is this recipeâs simplicity and how it becomes a different dish just by adding chicken or perhaps some fresh mozzarella just before serving it.
If you make it, I hope you find the same comfort we feel every time we eat it. Enjoy!
