As the weather descends into winter (which it’s doing unapologetically- this weekend was miserable) and the food typically gets heavier, what with the produce aisle filled with roots and tubers, I find that spiciness brightens up a heavy dish of just about anything. Yes, I love a stew and a braise as much as the next self-proclaimed food obsessive, but I often find myself gravitating toward Asian food for winter comfort.
