Chili with Cornbread

Reflection-

This lab was split into a two day lab. The first day we prepared and cooked the chili. The second day we made the cornbread and finished off the chili. I have never made cornbread before nd it tasted great with the chili. The chili was made of kidney beans, black beans, tomato sauce, corn, beef, onion, garlic, zucchini, and peppers. The chili was very flavorful and warm. I put my grated cheese on top with the avocado and cornbread for decoration and to make it appealing. My biggest challenge was giving that chili flavor because I found my chili was very plain, once I added in more chili powder it tastes more of a chili.

Porchetta Burrito

Reflection-

This lab we used porchetta as our protein in the burrito. Porchetta is a savoury, fatty, and moist boneless pork roast of Italian culinary tradition. The burrito also had grated cheese, beans, green onion, feta cheese, and sautéed peppers. This was a pretty straight forward lab, I worked well with my group and we were efficient. My favourite part of this dish was the porchetta, I have never had it before and it was very flavorful.

Fish Soup

Reflection-

This was a senior foods home lab, I made vegetable fish soup. It was a very flavorful with onions, carrots, fish, and mushrooms. I practiced my knife skills with the vegetables by chopping them. I seasoned and tasted my food until flavors were extracted. This recipe was a little different from something that I would normally make at home, but the process of making this food was easy.
