Final Thought

This isn’t just cooking—it’s a small act of celebration. In under ten minutes, you’ve summoned the spirit of the Mediterranean: unapologetically flavorful, elegantly simple, and rich with the kind of joy that needs no translation. Sometimes, the most profound pleasures come in three ingredients and a hot pan.
