YURA’S MEALS-TO-GO

Here are some highlights from this week’s Meals-to-Go:

We’ve transmuted the iconic “patron sandwich” of Little Italy’s Feast of San Gennaro into a truly substantial Fennel Sausage & Peppers Lasagna. And while those headline ingredients parade throughout the casserole, flavorful red sauce, Romano, and Parmesan punch their way through. A procession of ricotta-mozzarella custard moves among the layers, flanked by fresh oregano, and basil leaves. 

Spicy Fried Wonton may become your new addiction, but for now, munch them as crunchy croutons over our Thai Shrimp Salad. Crunching right along side, are shredded juicy Napa and red cabbages, carrots, and baby spinach, dotted with edamame, roasted peanuts and flash-fried shiitakes. Your job is to toss it all well with our Peanut-Coconut Dressing.

Fold Caramelized Shallots and Rosemary into warm, burst Blueberries and you’ve got a jammie fruit compote that goes great with grilled meat. We serve our Double-Thick Bone-Out Pork Chops with this summery sauce to give you great cookout flavor without any of the fuss. Sweeten the deal? How about Young Carrots Roasted with Red and Yellow Bell Peppers or stunning young leafy greens in Garlicky Sautéed Kale-Mashed Potatoes.  

Shanghai-Style Salmon is steamed in a shallow bed of Shaoxing rice wine along with a soy sauce nightcap, under a blanket of ginger and scallions. The resulting rosy filet is the central feature of a Cold Sesame Noodle-Salmon Bowl, around which all other elements of this chilled dish revolve. Crisp julienned snow peas, cucumbers, carrots and scallions shower the noodles, which are slightly spicy and tangy, with a toasted sesame oil scent. Fried shiitakes finish the dish. Use the extra sauce that you get to heavily dress the dish.

As homey as Chicken-Risotto Croquettes are, we know you’d never make them yourself. Coated in a crunchy crumb, and delicate enough to cut with a fork, serve them with that healthy pour of Poultry Pan Gravy we’ve packed alongside. Served with fragrant and colorful Sweet Potato-Carrot Puree and Lemon-Rosemary French Green Bean Sauté.

One part kitsch, the other flat-out amazing, Sweet & Sour Meatballs hit the spot like the very best American-Chinese take-out used to. Handmade, of pork and beef, and seasoned with ginger, they’re sauced together with fresh pineapple and bell peppers; served with Coconut Rice.
