Meal Kit Weekend
/M’tucci’s @ Home has been showing up at our home. I really loved the Green Chile Beef Brisket and the Calabrian Pepper Potato Salad from last week (there are only two of us, so we’re still eating the brisket, but the amazing potato salad went pretty quickly). Just yesterday, I crumbled up some of the leftover cornbread in a bowl, topped it with two poached eggs and my Chimayo red chile sauce. Outstanding!
This week promises to be memorable, not just for the Choice Filet Mignons rubbed with the Cajun Mustard, but for the salad made with golden beets, feta, red onion and farro. Tossed with a Lemon Thyme Vinaigrette, the flavors are really good, primarily because of the complex farro.
Farro is an ancient grain traced back to the Fertile Crescent and has been found in the tombs of Egyptian pharoahs. Italians have grown and eaten farro for a few hundred years. It’s really popular in Umbria where it is considered a staple and is used as a grain and a flour. Farro is available as a whole grain or with some of the bran removed, which is called perlato. Perlato cooks more quickly than whole grain (which must be soaked overnight before cooking), but still retains the nutty, complex flavor and is the type we use at M’tucci’s.
Cajun Mustard Rubbed Tenderloins with Farro Golden Beet Salad in this week’s Prep Kitchen kit. Only $51
As always, the meals are prepped by our Chefs and all you need to do is follow the simple recipe - in print or on our YouTube channel. Click below to see how easy it can be.
Call the M’tucci’s closest to you to order your M’tucci’s @ Home kit for pickup or delivery. The following kits are available everyday. The Brat Kit is perfect for a weekend grill and the Breakfast Kit is made for lazy Sunday mornings. I’m cooking both this weekend and will post the photos on Facebook and Instagram Saturday and Sunday.

I’m sure we are all ready for a vacation from the life we’ve been leading for the past two months. As we head into the Memorial Day weekend, I’m sure many of us are staying home instead of traveling. Let’s hope that we all have travel and adventure in our future. In that spirit, we’ll close with some travel photos from the past few years. Hope you enjoy the trips! See you next week. Ciao!
