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.
We sandwiched together the great artisans in the US to honor New Orleans! And we created what we believe is the perfect team to construct a new-and-improved version of the classic Muffaletta sandwich, but using only sustainable ingredients. Our co-conspirators include Daniel Eddy, famed chef and owner of Winner Brooklyn; Central Market in the French Quarter who are masters of the signature olive salad; and of course cured meats including prosciutto from Casella’s, mortadella from Tempesta Artisans, and a delightful Red Wattle breed salami with black pepper and Spanish Pimenton from Fatted Calf.
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!).
No matter how you plan to eat your andouille, a classic Sazerac is the best way to tie the meal together. New Orleans is all about tradition — the food, the drinks, and the music all pay homage to the storied history of the Crescent City. No sausage more so than andouille, no cocktail more so than the Sazerac.
Watching Chefs Hannah and Q prepare a flawless ribeye, I knew the only appropriately glamorous cocktail companion could be a classic martini — just as with a delicious steak, the martini emphasizes the quality of the spirits within and the proper preparation is the picture of elegant simplicity.
Chef TJ Steele of Claro, a Michelin-starred Oaxacan restaurant in Brooklyn, dropped by our studio recently to share secrets behind his signature Heritage Turkey Tinga Tostada. Turkey is a protein that has existed in Mexican cuisine since well before Europeans arrived. Deli turkey sandwich culture this is not! TJ is a king of making the most of whole turkeys. In his kitchen, he celebrates heritage turkey and goat, two meats not typically found in America’s top restaurants.
To compliment TJ’s turkey tinga bartender Matt Botkin riffed on the Bloody Maria using Vago Elote, a mezcal distilled three times with the final distillation adding roasted black corn to round out the smoky flavor giving it a toasted nuttiness and sweetness. The higher than average proof balances perfectly with the robust flavors of tomato, chili, and brine to make the pairing a veritable New World feast!
Not everyone thinks nose-to-tail when it comes to poultry, but this recipe uses every last bit of our heritage turkey. Traditionally made with beef heart, today we are preparing this classic Peruvian dish that showcases the country's delicious native smoky pepper, with our heritage turkey giblets.
