Seasonal Ingredients for Chef's Tasting Menu

Method

Preparation of Chef's Tasting Menu

  1. 1

    Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

    Wash and chop seasonal vegetables into bite-sized pieces. Marinate the chosen protein with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Step 2: Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the seasonal vegetables and sauté for about 5-7 minutes until tender. Add fresh herbs towards the end for flavor.

  3. 3

    Step 3: Cook the Protein

    In another skillet, heat the remaining olive oil. Cook the marinated protein until it reaches the desired doneness (approximately 3-5 minutes per side for chicken/fish).

    Step 4: Prepare the Fruit Salad

    Dice the seasonal fruit and toss it with a tablespoon of balsamic vinegar to create a refreshing salad.
