Merengue D’ametlles

IN A SMALL CORNER RESTAURANT, AFTER A MEAL OF PORK AND VEGETABLES COOKED OVER A WOOD-FIRED GRILL, I ESCHEWED THE CREME CATALAN AND JUST HAD COFFEE AND A LITTLE ALMOND MERINGUE. MADE WITH THE STUNNING MARCONA ALMONDS-FOR WHICH THERE IS A DENOMINACIÓN DE ORIGEN — THESE BEAUTIFUL, CRISP MERINGUES ARE SO RICH, SO NUTTY, SO DAMN SIMPLE AND GOOD!
