YURA'S MEALS-TO-GO

SOME HIGHLIGHTS from this week’s Meals-to-Go: 

New Mexico Creamed Corn will make any succotash green with envy, and fast-track your appetite to autumn. Seasoned with charred poblanos, tomatillos, and crema supremo, it’s served side-by-side with Southwestern Grilled Flank Steak (cooked rare, allowing you to perfectly reheat your meal). Fire Roasted Tomato-Chipotle Salsa is there to give the meat some heat. And you’ll be dazzled by the gorgeous Lime-Roasted Garnet Sweet Potatoes. 

We’re going for bucolic hospitality with this rustic September dish. It’s the kind of one-pot meal to share with family or intimate company. Tuscan Braised Chicken Thighs are tender and succulent, a meaty companion to Rosemary-Scented White Beans lovingly slow-cooked with Blistered Tomatoes and Kale. This dish is at once simple and special. Drizzle it with the EVOO that’s included, and a snowdrift of grated Parmesan.

Under the thick, cozy blanket of mashed potatoes and rutabaga, is a bubbling stew of ground turkey, skillet browned, and awash in a thyme-scented turkey gravy. And this Turkey Shepherd’s Pie isn’t skimpy on the veggies—you’ll find plenty of carrots, baby peas, rutabaga, celery and onions in this comforting late-summer casserole.

We whisk together toasted sesame oil, ginger, and a dollop of yellow miso smoothed with sweet mirin, and have a marinade for Miso-Ginger Grilled Salmon in an instant. Those caramelizing sugars create richly colored grill marks and a wistful last wisp of summer flavor. Served with Yuzu Dipping Sauce, Japanese Mushroom Rice and Sesame Roasted Broccoli and Carrots.

There may be nothing fancy, per se, about this Country Meatloaf dinner—only that we’ve elevated it into art. To that, we owe not just the tasty combo of beef, lamb, and pork, but the exquisite side, Roasted Cauliflower-Mashed Potatoes smothered in Caramelized Onion Gravy. We’d eat that anywhere, anytime. (And don’t mind if a little gravy gets on Thyme-Scented Honey Roasted Carrots and Baby Peas.)
