Winter

This is easily a meal in itself.

This is a simple preparation, but because the butter and lemon enrich the sauce, it’s satisfying during the cold, winter months.

I've made this dish as a quick supper and as an elegant dinner party first course. It goes both ways, which is key to its charm and longevity in my cooking repertoire.

There's nothing quite as homespun as a bowl of tomato soup with a classic grilled cheese sandwich.
