This recipe came to me via my friend Ali, who had it at The Flatiron Room when he was living in New York. He's made it for us a bunch of times, including on my stag do, as you can in the accompanying photo.
As an aside, my stag do was three of us in a cabin in the middle of the Welsh countryside for three days and it was glorious.
