Mexican Bolognese
Chef Akhtar trades pasta for roasted cabbage ribbons in this Mexican-style bolognese, layering on a slow-simmered sauce built from chorizo, ground beef, mole, and red wine. A blizzard of garlicky cilantro breadcrumbs and Pecorino lands on top to finish this rich, roasty, and rebellious dish.
