Nonna’s Smoky Sauce plays on the inherent flavors found in City Saucery’s products and turns up the volume. Combining hearty eggplant, earthy garlic and sweet New Jersey tomatoes, this unique blend gives the sauce a silky, smooth, and smoky character.

While the ingredient is a  perfect complement to Italian flavors in dishes such as Cioppino, Lasagna, or Chicken Parmesan the rich notes also work well in a variety of other interesting plates such as in lieu of ketchup on a burger, adding depth to Shakshuka, or even adding to a brazen Bloody Mary.

The black lentils at Sierra Nut House are an ideal health-minded and delicious alternative grain. Their hue is from high concentrations of anthocyanins, the same antioxidants found in blueberries, plums, and cherries which are found to be memory-boosting and cancer-fighting. 

Pairing well with seafood such as Salmon, Scallops, and Halibut they are the ideal summer super-food. Known for its use in Indian cuisine, the lentils can also be integrated in soups, braised in red wine, or with bacon and mushrooms.
