We Had to Bring Back This Fall Favorite
Happy Sunday! Every Sunday we share a recipe so you can cook along with us.
Sunday Dinner
American Lamb-Stuffed Fall Focaccia
It’s officially that time of year when the kitchen smells like roasted squash and warm spices. Fall has arrived, and you know we had to bring back one of our favorite recipes of the season.
This dish is everything I love about cooking in October: a little rustic, a little indulgent, and totally show-stopping when you walk into a Halloween party with it in hand. The sweetness of roasted squash with the rich, spiced lamb? Unreal. Wrap that up in a soft, golden focaccia and suddenly everyone’s asking, “Wait, you made this!?”
