CM: The dates sort of soften down.
ZI: Utterly. You get a stickier, thick richness from the dates.

Like, there’s a second the place one thing you’re braising isn’t tender, however it’s like totally cooked. And that is a part of trusting the method. Pushing by means of that time. You’ll encounter that whether or not it is the quick rib or the duck, , the place the protein has sort of seized up, firmed up, misplaced some moisture. And also you simply sort of need to preserve going, and that is the place it is necessary. Like, do not boil it exhausting. Hold the warmth low.

CM: Yep. And doing it a day upfront is completely truthful recreation. In both case, you are able to do the complete factor the day earlier than.
