LOCH ETIVE SCOTTISH STEELHEAD TROUT
Save $2/lb |
 |
Loch Etive steelhead trout are raised in Northern Argyll on the west coast of Scotland, in a remote, pristine environment with pure waters and fast-flowing currents. If you've never had steelhead trout, it eats very much like salmon. This is sashimi-grade fish, rich in Omega-3 oils, ideally suited for cooked preparations as well as crudo, carpaccio, tartare, and sushi. They are raised 100% free of antibiotics, growth promoters, hormones, and GMOs.

NIMAN RANCH TOP SIRLOIN STEAKS
Save $3/lb |
 |
The top sirloin is one of the more undersung cuts of beef, always outshined by ribeyes and New York strips, but top sirloin knows how good it is. Leaner than both ribeyes and NY strips, top sirloin has an intense depth of flavor, similar to a roast. Because it's so lean, over-cooking top sirloin will result in a dry, tough steak; give it a sear on the grill or in a pan, and cook it to not past medium — medium-rare is even better.

BY BILL ST. JOHN
Marczyk Fine Foods is one of a few grocers in the United States to carry an exceptionally delicious jarred tomato, that from Masseria Mirogallo in Basilicata, the "instep" to the Italian Boot. I've been cooking with these tomatoes for close to three years now — the whole peeled, the sliced (called "spaccatelle"), and a delicious "passata" or purée — and they blow out of the stockpot any canned tomato I've ever used, even pricier versions. And they contain none of the preservative calcium chloride that is present in many canned (especially cut-up) tomatoes; Mirogallo tomatoes contain only a smidge of salt.
Calcium chloride isn't dangerous at all, and it firms up the cell walls of the tomato and keeps the mash from becoming mushy. Problem is, it keeps doing that even when the canned tomatoes are cooked, interfering with the breakdown of the tomatoes into a sauce-like form. If you want smooth, go for processed tomatoes free of forms of calcium, such as Masseria Mirogallo's.
Available in Whole Peeled, Sliced, and Strained.

MARKET-MADE MOZZARELLA
Save $4/lb |
 |
You can see how beautifully dense our hand-made mozzarella is. It tastes like fresh whole milk — which is what we make it out of — as well as that subtle *other* flavor that mozzarella acquires...
{cue Keith Morrison from Dateline}
...from somewhere. Slice it up for pizzas, sandwiches, cheese boards, garlic bread, add it to sliced tomatoes along with basil leaves, olive oil, and salt flakes — our mozzarella elevates anything it accompanies.

MARKET-MADE CHOCOLATE BROWNIES
Save $1/ea |
 |
When you make brownies as good as ours, you can't help but warm them up and put them on a plate with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Our bakery uses the ingredients that are necessary to make a brownie and no others: butter, unsweetened chocolate, semisweet chocolate, egg whites, sugar, cocoa powder, flour, vanilla, salt. We do not skimp on the chocolate. Just two bites from one of our brownies provides 100% of the RDA of chocolate.

MARKET-MADE CHICKEN TETRAZZINI
Save $3/quart |
 |
Chicken Tetrazzini is named after the Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini (true story). Her arias must have inspired people to devise recipes. Our made-from-scratch Chicken Tetrazzini has lots of chicken, mushrooms, cream cheese, peas, Niman Ranch bacon, Parmesan, shallots, and garlic, all in a rich, buttery, creamy sauce.
One serving suggestion: cook some pasta or egg noodles; add pasta to an oven-proof dish; pour Chicken Tetrazzini over pasta; sprinkle cheese over everything; place under the broiler until the cheese melts and starts to get a bit crispy; spoon it up. This is an easy-and-quick-to-prepare, hearty, substantial dish that isn't overly rich, and yes, you will love it.

MARKET-MADE STRAWBERRY RHUBARB SHORTCAKE ICE CREAM
Save $3/pint |
 |
If you've never eaten strawberry rhubarb shortcake, don't feel bad; no human has ever eaten the strawberry-rhubarb combination in anything but pies and jams. So, to expand the strawberry-rhubarb experience for humans, we combined them in an ice cream.
Strawberries are elegantly delicious and technically aren't berries at all — they are aggregate accessory fruits, which is obvious to most of us. Rhubarb is a vegetable that is so tart there isn't room for that level of tartness in the human imagination. But somebody somewhere combined them during a fit of boredom or psychedelia, and it was good. We followed suit and combined them in an ice cream. And it is really good. To our homemade base (local milk and eggs; sugar; all-natural stabilizer) we added strawberries, rhubarb, cream cheese, and vanilla. There are small chunks of strawberries and rhubarb throughout, it is off-the-scale creamy (it broke our Creamy-O-Meter), and it is not too sweet (our ice creams have less sugar than pretty much every ice cream out there). Available in our freezer section. Obviously. WEEKEND PRICE:

THE ITALIAN JOB SANDWICH
Save $3/ea |

One day we decided to pile Niman Ranch applewood-smoked ham, chorizo, Genoa salami, provolone cheese, local lettuce and tomato, pepperoncini, red onion, and zesty Italian dressing on our market-made ciabattini. That was a good day.
Just ask for one at our delis and save $3 on each from Friday through Sunday.
