Island cooking the Caribbean way

Dominican chef prepares dishes for St. Helena Library patrons

By Ruth Ragland Associate Editor

Chef Jairol Diaz recreated the tastes of his mother’s Caribbean comfort food recently for members of the Cooking Club at St. Helena Branch Library.

Diaz is a native of the Dominican Republic and is a sous chef at the Dataw Clubhouse.

He seldom has the opportunity to prepare Dominican dishes at work but said that Lowcountry cooks should have no problem finding the ingredients necessary to prepare authentic Caribbean cuisine.

Diaz opened his presentation by sautéing onions, oregano, thyme, cilantro, garlic and celery to flavor a favorite Dominican side dish, pigeon peas and coconut.

Also on his menu were fish in coconut sauce, chicken croquettes and white rice.

The croquettes (or croquetas de pollo in Spanish) are typically sold by street vendors in the Dominican Republic and are as much a staple as French fries are here.

Diaz said that he grew up in an urban part of the Dominic Republic but his mother hails from the countryside where there’s “nothing but real good food,” that’s quick and easy to prepare.

Among his favorite dishes are tostones (fried plantains that are twice baked); asopao (soup with rice, beans and any type of meat); and batata 6 • WWW.EDIBLESMAG.COM

(a type of sweet potato). “I’ve been craving that since I got here,” he said.

He shared several tips with the Cooking Club: • Use vegetable oil or butter rather than olive oil to keep the flavor of sautéed dishes light. “I don’t know about you all but I like a little butter in my cooking,” he said.

• It’s not necessary to wrestle with a whole coconut; canned coconut milk is fine for flavoring Caribbean dishes.

• When creating a roux as the base for a sauce add the flour little by little. “Take your time to make sure it’s well blended,” he said.

• Soak and drain white rice before cooking to make it less starchy.

• Use a ceramic coated frying pan for sautéing because it’s less likely to scorch the food and is easier to clean.

Eve Heaton, a Beaufort County School District employee and Cooking Club member, found the Dominican fare tasty and said that the fish in coconut sauce would be

“easy enough to duplicate with local fish.”

Her colleague Nichelle Tyson said the dishes reminded her of her mother’s cooking from Jamaica.

The new library has a lightfilled and airy auditorium equipped with a kitchen where Cooking Club events can be recorded for television.

Branch manager Maria J. Benac thanked the Friends of the Beaufort County Library for providing funding for programs like the Cooking Club.

She urged everyone to attend the Friends’ annual fundraiser, the Fall Book Sale, set for Sept. 26-28 at Beaufort’s Waterfront Park.

What’s Grilling this Fall

By Chef Kermit W. Griffin chefkermitgriffin.com chefkerm@chefkermitgriffin.com

A line from my favorite commercial airing right now, goes “This is the summer to compare all other summers too”. So true!

I was lucky enough to spend quality time with my beautiful family and friends this summer in the Beautiful Lowcountry.

Shout out to Chef Tony & Nicole, Chef Nick Borregine, and last but not least my mentor Chef Richard Wilson.

But Summer is over now, and I hope you all had a blast. I’m taking back to Vino Volo with some inspiration from all 3 of these phenom’s whom I have the pleasure and good fortune to call friends and colleagues.

On my menu this fall, you’ll catch Grilled Ribeye, Grilled Mussels topped with Gruyere, and also Grilled Lamb Meatloaf Skewers.

Grilled Lamb Meatloaf Skewers 5 # Ground Lamb Mix 1.25# Marscapone Cheese ½ cup Polenta 1.5 tsp cinnamon 6 tsp Hungarian paprika ¾ tsp cumin 3 Tbsp salt 2 Tbsp black pepper 3 Tbsp coriander seed (ground) ¾ tsp cayenne 3 eggs

Combine all ingredients in a Kitchen Aid mixing bowl or any mixer with a paddle attachment mix until well incorporated. Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap about 12 in wide and 12 in long. Using a scoop or a large spoon, place 2 oz portions along the edge of the wrap facing you to create a continuous line from end to end, leaving about a 1 in space from each end. Roll the lamb mixture as is you were rolling a cigar or compound butter. As your rolling, be careful to smooth out any gaps in the mixture that would detract from creating a continuous, sausage like appearance. When you come to the end of the wrapping process twist the creation to tighten and compress the mixture. This will help to ensure a better cutting process.

Place the meatloaf in the freezer for approximately 1 hour. Remove and slice into 2 in pieces. Grill for 8-10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. Serve with your favorite Tzatziki Sauce, or other minted condiment.

In The Know E

The Diva Chef

Chef Talk

lise Wims, a former Executive Chef from Pittsburgh, PA; began cooking at the age of 9. As Elise got older her passion for the culinary arts blossomed, and her skill set increased exponentially she soon enrolled and graduated from the Pennsylvania Culinary Institute.

Elise is a master chef, with her expertise being a fusion of Creole and Italian, which no other trained expert can match.

While a Grillardin and Saucier at Donatos Restaurant in Fox Chapel, Elise was approached to be a contestant on the FOX hit series Hell’s Kitchen (season 9, the most watched cycle of the series); and most recently, appearing on NBC Food Fighters, winning the Food Fight, with her healthy spin on Wings.

Elise, knowing her way in and around the kitchen, knew from the start that she would have to work harder and be more creative to make her mark – and make her mark she did.

Elise was then positioned as the aggressive talented bossy XXXXX, and proved her skill set over and over again.

Elise, “The Diva Chef” (a moniker she earned while on the show), earned the

10 • WWW.EDIBLESMAG.COM

coveted black jacket and placed 3rd in the competitive cooking competition the last woman standing!

Elise’s previous experiences include Sous Chef and Executive Chef and every top Pittsburgh restaurant.

From personal appearances and star studded gala’s and fundraisers, to her over booked and standing room only cooking workshops, now to her food critic position at the New Pittsburgh Courier Newspaper, Elise’s brand is building rapidly.

Ms. Wims has been featured in numerous publications such as People Magazine for “Best Chicken Dish”, Whirl Magazine, Pittsburgh PostGazette’s “Food and Flavor” Magazine; the New Pittsburgh Courier, and the Pittsburgh City Paper as “Fresh Pick of the Week”!

In 2013 Wims was also a recipient of the New Pittsburgh Courier’s FAB40 Award, honoring Pittsburgh’s most talented elite professionals under 40. Elise also made the cover of the issue for this prestigious event.

With numerous local TV segments & Celebrity Appearances she is making her mark.

Great Tailgate Foods James Raiswell

A successful party requires a game plan. So prepare like the pros, stick to your strategy and everything should go your way. That being said, make what you can in advance so you’re not trying to finish everything at the last minute before kickoff.

Remember, when you’re feeding a lot of people, variety is key: offer vegetarian meals as well as foods with meat in them, offer spicy and mild versions of your dishes (e.g. chili, chicken wings, etc.), and keep in mind that just because you love or hate a certain food, it doesn’t mean your guests feel the same way. Finally, make sure you have plenty of nonalcoholic drinks on hand for the designated drivers.

Who Said School Lunch Is Gross!

Sur vey says healthier school lunches maybe winning over students?

Courtesy of Education Week

By Evie Blad

While many students weren’t keen on more nutritious school lunches when their districts first began complying with new federal meal standards in the 2012-13 school year, they eventually warmed up to the healthier fare, complaining less and eating as much as they did before the rules went into place, according to two national surveys of school administrators released.

The pair of surveys--one of elementary school administrators and one of middle and high school administrators--was funded by Bridging the Gap, a research program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which supports the standards, created through the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010.

“Policymakers at all levels should be encouraged by these findings and should continue to support schools’ efforts to provide students with healthy meals and snacks,” Tina Kauh, a program officer for the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, said in a statement.

The research was released as debate continues over the standards, which have been gradually implemented since the fall of 2012 and require schools to serve more fresh fruit, vegetables, and whole grains and to limit calories, fat, and sodium in their federally subsidized meals. Supporters of the standards, including first lady Michelle

Obama, have argued that they are necessary to address childhood obesity and related illnesses.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture has countered claims of increased discarded food by pointing to a March study by researchers at Harvard University that found that students are now eating more fruit and vegetables, and that, while plate waste is a concern, levels are not any higher than they were before the standards were adopted.

Research included in the Bridging the Gap brief shows that respondents, who were either principals or food service providers, have seen fewer complaints since students first began eating meals prepared under the new rules.

Reviewing the Findings In response to a nationally representative survey of 557 elementary school administrators conducted by the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan, 56 percent of respondents agreed or strongly agreed that students complained about the new meals at first, and 64 percent agreed or strongly agreed that “few students complain now.” Seventy percent of elementary school administrators surveyed said students “generally like the new lunch.”
