Feeding a Crowd | Our Mississippi Home
SUMMARY: Julian Brunt, a food and travel writer with over a decade of experience covering the food culture of the Deep South, has always relied on jambalaya for feeding a crowd. However, for a change, he decided to make a special bolognese, adding peas, inspired by a favorite Italian dish. Julian, who has traveled extensively and appeared on Gordon Ramsay’s television show, “To Hell and Back in 24 Hours,” opted for rigatoni to make the dish more convenient for guests. He spent two days making the bolognese, simmering ground pork, spices, and vegetables, then reheating it with peas and Parmesan. The dish is served with garlic bread, allowing guests to dip in the sauce, an Italian tradition.
