Why Is This Here?
At first glance, it doesn’t seem to belong. It’s not something you’d expect to see in the middle of a recipe, and yet — there it is. Most people overlook it, skip past it, or remove it entirely without a second thought.

This small, confusing detail is actually the reason this recipe works so well. It plays a quiet but important role in flavor, texture, or balance — and once you understand why it’s there, the entire dish makes sense.
Cooking is full of moments like this. Ingredients added without explanation, steps that feel unnecessary, tools that seem out of place. But the best recipes are built on intention, even when it’s not obvious.
