Candice Custodio | Chef, Paso Robles

This started as an attempt to rescue a very disappointing watermelon. Rubbery, not sweet… nobody was eating it. 😅

I diced it up and stewed it with cherry tomatoes, jalapeños, garlic, and white onion, thinking salsa. Somewhere along the way, spinach and shrimp joined the party, and it became a warm sandwich for lunch. The plot twists were inspired by my desire to do the least amount of dishes. 😂

During the pandemic, people used to text me whatever random ingredients they could find, and I’d help them turn it into dinner.

With what groceries cost these days, I think we need to bring that back.
