Cacciatore means “hunter” in Italian, and is not pronounced “catch a Cory.” (But it should be!) You don't need to know what it means, how to spell it, or how to pronounce it, to find yourself gorging on those flavors, with roasted onions, tomatoes, mushroom seasoning, all swirled with butter and topping the succulent pork. Cacciatore, what a Cory? It's pronounced “delicious.”
