Notes:

From the kitchen
  • Anaheim or Cubanelle peppers both work beautifully if you want a little crunch.
  • A small handful of feta adds creaminess (about ½ cup crumbled).
  • Black Kalamata or green Castelvetrano olives bring salty depth.
  • A drizzle of pomegranate molasses gives subtle sweetness.
  • Fresh dill or mint brighten things up.
  • Dry mint or sumac adds a gentle tang.
