Here I baked pargiyot (skinless, boneless chicken thighs) because they’re incredibly tender and juicy, then chopped…

It doesn’t take a lot of ingredients, but all it does take is patience. One day back in February, some of us gathered by Sina Mizrahi’s home for lunch. She had invited some friends over “just because.” (How much would we appreciate being able to get together today!). One of the dishes she served that…
