Modo Mio's Peter McAndrews cooks Sunday gravy for Esquire

Modo Mio chef/owner Peter McAndrews' recipe for dear-God-that's-beautiful Sunday gravy is featured in Esquire's "How to Eat Like a Man Now" spread, focusing on meals that look and sound like the opposite of health food infinitely delicious. (Hey Pete, weren't you just in that mag in May?)

Being of Irish heritage and growing up in a household not quite culinarily diverse, I was often mystified by the food at the homes of my Italian-American friends in the neighborhood. As I learned to cook, I tried to replicate these mystical sauces, without much success. Then I married a second-generation Italian-American whose family brought this magnificent recipe over from the old country. Here's my version, best prepared as you drink a nice glass of red.

McAndrews' full recipe � hot Italian sausage! meatballs! pork ribs! � is right here.

  • 3 lbs sweet or hot Italian sausage (or mixture), sliced into 3-inch pieces
  • 2 lbs your favorite meatballs (about 24 formed meatballs*)
  • 3 lbs country-style pork ribs,** preferably on the bone
  • 2 lbs pork neck bones (though any beef or pork bones will do)
  • (h/t Kessler)
