Thanks for a GREAT cooking class...

I love what I do!!!

A big shout out to Adoption by Choice!

What an awesome group!

We had such laughs, and of course soooo much food...

Thanks for coming out and taking this Tapas Cooking Class :)

The class had barely started and they were already posing for pictures. Lol's

As you can tell...they enjoyed their Artichokes :)

Ohhhhh, and the laughs

As soon as they walked through the doors, the jokes started.

We can't forget about the nicknames, right

"Princess"...hahaha

I know it's looking like we really don't learn much in my cooking classes,

but I promise, along with the joking, nicknaming, laughing and much eating,

there is a lot of hands on cooking and learning to be had

Yummy Asparagus Wraps

The recipe will be at the end of this post

I think my awesome photographer had a blast with this group.

You guys made my night. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a cooking class yet.

Hope we get to this again for you guys.

An extremely memorable night! And I don't mean in a bad way.

THANKS!!!!

It's groups like this that make me love what I do

Asparagus Wraps

Ingredients:

12 pc’s of Asparagus

1-2 Thin pieces of Steak

Olive oil

1 garlic clove (crushed)

Balsamic Vinegar

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Steam Asparagus and Crushed Garlic to still crunchy. Remove from pan, and shock in cold water bath to stop the cooking progress. (also helps keep the asparagus a nice green colour)

2. Meanwhile pre-heat oven to 350 degress

3. Place piece of steak in between two layers of plastic wrap and pound out thin

4. Take three pieces of asparagus, (3 pieces for each thinly pounded out piece of steak) and wrap inside pounded out steak and secure seam side of meat with toothpick forming a nice little bundle

5. Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan

6. Place asparagus bundles in hot pan and sear on all sides. Be sure not too crowd your pan, you will loose some heat

7. Remove from pan, and place on lightly sprayed baking sheet and bake for approx. 5-10 mins depending on desired doneness

8. Remove wraps from oven, and let rest for about 5 mins before serving or cutting into them

9. In the same pan used to sear the bundles, place 4 tbsp of balsamic vinegar and simmer until reduced by about half and somewhat thickened

Serve warm with drizzle of balsamic reduction

Until we cook again:)
