Add red onions, celery, capers, blackening Spice, cornichons, horseradish, parsley, Worcestershire & sriracha sauce to the mayonnaise. Be careful when preparing mayo. You want it very thick since most of these extra ingredients will thin out the sauce.

February 22 , 2018 Making ribeye steaks with french fries and & a Avocado salad with vinaigrette dressing

        This week in Food 2 class we made  ribeye steaks with french fries and a avocado salad with vinaigrette dressing.    The picture is below.

   

 

 The  seasoning used here was blackened seasoning .   We put it on both sides of the meat.

Then we put on the Grill till it was medium well ( just a little bit of pink meat showing) . 

We even put some on a skillet to cook.  

   

      

Here they are finished cooking. They are medium well. 

Next we made a  parmesan cheese bowl for the  avocado salad. 

 

To make the shape of the bowl, we first got out a cookie sheet then put parchment paper on it. Then we used a cheese grater & grated a chunk of parmesan cheese. Then we spreader the cheese out on parchment paper. Then put got out a small bowl and placed it upside down.{ your only using the outside of the bowl} . Then put it in the oven until cheese is fully melted.  once out of the oven put it on a round small bowl to shape the cheese bowl. Let set to shape. Once shaped, carefully tare the melted cheese off of the bowl. Then place on a cookie sheet to cool.  

Next we make the avocado Salad with the vinaigrette dressing. 

Slice up avocado then chop up carrots , cucumber , bacon. For the lettuce  use Romain or your choice of lettuce. 

The dressing is made up of olive oil, veggie oil, butter, parsley. First melt the butter. Then put it in a bowl then mix in the parsley together with the melted butter. After that slowly pour in the veg oil then wisk it together. but add very little veg oil.  while wishing your ingredients together pour in the olive oil. but add very little on the oil. pour gently into the bowl on the oils. Then put the dressing into the salad. mix together. 

next add the fries 

 

Cut up potatoes very thin { like  McDonnell's  fries }. Then put them in water. After that drain the water and put the fries into the fryer. after the fryer put in a cooler for 10 minutes. then fry them again. It takes up to 10 minutes to fry them.   

Then after all of this cooking your ready to plate. Enjoy!!!!
