Best Torrisis Spicy Sauce Recipes
TORRISI'S SPICY SAUCE
This sauce is the invention of Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone, of Torrisi Italian Specialties in NYC, and is all over the food blogs (Pinterest, Food52 just to name a few). What drew my attention is that Food52 mentioned jarring it and giving as gifts... What a fab idea! I didn't realize I'd fall in love myself and have to triple the recipe! It's a creamy, spicy, heavenly spread that lends itself to a million things - roasted meats and chicken, eggs in any form (fried, scrambled, fritatta), tossed with grilled shrimp to top a salad (or for an appetizer), stirred into cooked greens or a soups - stews - beans. Serve as a dip with toasted pita or a rustic corn chip, or even use as a sandwich spread. The uses are endless, and delicious. This sauce will keep up to 6 months in the fridge, if it lasts that long.... Enjoy!

Steps:
- When it comes to the pickled peppers, B and G hot cherry peppers are suggested by Torrisi, although the pickled jalapenos from the grocery store would be great too. Throw in a chipotle pepper for a smoky version of the sauce. Play with it!
- Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender, and mix until desired texture is reached. Torrisi's makes it "slightly smooth" -- I like mine pureed quite finely.
- If jarring for edible gifts, I like to use the jam jars that allow you to insert a small square of fabric (I like using red-checked gingham, since it looks so Italian) and a tag with the recipe or a list of sauce uses.

Steps:
- Make the guajillo vinaigrette: soak guajillo chiles in warm water to cover overnight. The next day, scrape chili from skin and chop ½ cup flesh, discarding skin. In small saucepan over very low heat, cook garlic in 1 tablespoon olive oil until soft. Remove garlic and mash to a paste; combine with chopped guajillo, ½ cup olive oil, lemon juice, Sriracha, chili flakes and salt and sugar to taste.
- Make the bread crumbs: In small heavy skillet over low heat, cook bread crumbs in butter with garlic and thyme, stirring occasionally, until golden; discard garlic.
- Prepare outdoor grill. Season chicken with salt and pepper and grill over medium coals (turning frequently) until cooked through, 30 to 45 minutes. Transfer chicken to platter and let rest 10 minutes. Cut breasts in half and split drumsticks from thighs; dress with guajillo vinaigrette.
- Mix yogurt with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste; dollop on 4 plates. Arrange 2 pieces chicken on each plate. Toss frisée and radicchio with olive oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste; mound next to chicken and sprinkle with bread crumbs.

TORRISI TURKEY
The roast turkey breast that Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone serve for lunch at their restaurant Parm in New York City is about the moistest, most luxuriously flavorful turkey available on the planet: rich and buttery, deep with rich turkey taste. They wrap a brined breast in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and place it in an intensely humid low-temperature oven that leaves the meat dense with moisture, heavy with flavor. Then they paint a glaze of honey and roasted garlic on the meat and place it in a hot, dry oven to create a crust. The result is turkey that tastes emphatically of turkey. And you can do it at home.

Steps:
- To brine the turkey: In a medium saucepan, bring 2 quarts water to a boil with the salt and sugar. Pour into a large pot, and add 2 quarts cold water. Once the brine is cool, submerge the turkey breasts and refrigerate overnight, or up to 24 hours.
- To make the glaze: Heat oven to 375 degrees. Toss the garlic heads with the olive oil in a small casserole dish, cover and roast until the garlic is soft, about 1 hour and 10 minutes. Leave covered until cool enough to handle, then squeeze the garlic cloves from their skins into a food processor and purée. Add the honey, salt and pepper. Cover until ready to use.
- To cook the turkey: Heat oven to 250 degrees. Remove the breasts from the brine and wrap each one four times in plastic wrap and once in aluminum foil. Insert an oven-safe thermometer into the center of one breast and place both on a wire rack in a roasting pan. Add water to reach to just below the rack. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 135 degrees, 2 to 3 hours. Near the end of cooking time, fill a large bowl halfway with ice water.
- Remove the turkey from oven and raise temperature to 425 degrees. Without removing thermometer or wrapping, submerge the turkey in the ice bath for 5 minutes. Remove foil, plastic wrap and turkey skin. Pat dry and brush glaze liberally on all sides of the breasts. Roast until glaze is golden, 15 to 20 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme and serve thinly sliced, hot or cold.
