Cooking at Home: The Lazy but Always Tasty Method
Sometimes you work crazy hours & you feel like just staying in. You want a delicious meal but don't want to spend hours cooking a deeply rich & satisfying meal.
Well you can. Just requires some out-of-box thinking. Find a fantastic butcher in your area that offers pre-cooked but vacuum-sealed meats. In DC, one such butcher is Red Apron Butchery. Owned by Nathan Anda, a very good ex-Chef from some of the better restaurants in the area.
One product that Nathan regularly sells is the pre-cooked 'Pork Sugo' (Italian-style braised or slow-cooked pork for hours in pork stock ... sometimes wine as well ... with a variety of spices). It's ridiculously rich and extremely tasty. Grab a package, reheat in a pan and add your favorite pasta of the day. Simple and easy!
Tonight was lazy night for me. Checked my fridge and lo & behold, Red Apron's Sugo! Added some Cheese & Spinach Tortellini, and call it a night ;)
