Brined Boston Butt Shoulder Steaks with 'Nduja and Honey

The classic combination of Calabrian chili and honey turns this quick meal into a show-stopper. These thin-cut boston butt steaks sear up beautifully, and the addition of Tempesta Artisan's sweet and spicy 'nduja quickly melted on top with honey adds a kick of flavor and complexity.

Heritage Andouille Jambalaya

Jambalaya with Andouille and Prawns with Cajun Vermouth Butter

While every culture has a stew, the Jambalaya originated in Southern Louisiana in the 18th century, with origins before that in Africa and Spain. Jambalaya is rice cooked usually with ham, sausage, chicken, shrimp, or oysters and seasoned with herbs. From that definition comes a myriad of different variations including the Cajun tradition and the Creole tradition, among others. The dish boasts a particular blend of herbs and vegetables — think the holy trinity of bell peppers, onion, and celery, which is a version of the classic mirepoix, but with bell peppers in place of carrots. More often than not, Jambalaya features andouille sausage, a variety many people try to make but only few make well (hint: heritage breeds raised on pasture helps!).

Saltimbocca means “jump in the mouth,” and these small pieces of pork topped with prosciutto and sage are meant to be eaten in a single bite. Scaloppine for saltimbocca, which originated in Lazio are traditionally cut from the leg of the calf but they may be made with whatever is available and inexpensive. In this version, the pork is sautéed in garlic-flavored oil and finished with lemon and white wine.

Pulled Pork Vindaloo with Fiery Cabbage & Red Onion Slaw

Pulled Pork Vindaloo with Fiery Cabbage & Red Onion Slaw

The first pop up I ever held was for a concept I called “Indian Tacos,” teaming up with the chef at a popular neighborhood Brooklyn restaurant that also happened to be my “Cheers,” a real-life version of the TV sitcom bar “where everybody knows your name.” I may be dating myself for the younger audience here.  On Monday nights, my “Cheers” was bar only, so I teamed up with the chef to take over the empty kitchen. The idea was to take smaller street-style tortillas and pile them with two options, including a pulled pork play on a classic pork vindaloo curry.
