I made this dish again today. I added dill and some cooked farro I had in the fridge. Both were great additions. Dill added herbal freshness, farro added chew. No notes. 10/10.

Hi Ben. Thanks for the shout out. The chili oil and cottage cheese are a natural. The distance between pickled herring in cream sauce and your combination is not as far it it might seem.

Yum!! Wouldn't have considered it but am now looking forward to trying it! Reminds me of Lynne Rosetto Kasper playing Stump the Cook on an old episode of The Splendid Table, which was always my favorite segment.

I had a co-worker who would sprinkle Worcestershire sauce on her cottage cheese. Highly recommend!
