FAMILYSTYLE BY SHIFRA KLEIN

n a recent trip to Los Angeles, we attended the Kosher Food & Wine Experience by Royal Wine Corp. at the Hollywood Palladium. It was a wonderful event that showcased over 300 varieties of wine and food from various California-based food establishments. The highlight of the night was the food served by Tierra Sur’s executive chef, Gabe Garcia, a true legend in the world of kosher dining. Chef Gabe served a ranch-style buffalo cauliflower dish, lamb barbacoa tostadas and saffron grilled chicken with lemon herb potatoes. As we ventured over to compliment the chef, we had Pesach on our minds and began discussing recipe ideas and kitchen tips. While on the topic, Gabe told us that a lot of his famous recipes are featured on Kosher.com and many of them are Pesach-friendly. This intrigued us and we quickly searched the site for Chef Gabe Garcia. Beyond catching a quick glimpse of his recent show entitled Skillet, we stumbled upon some really great restaurant-quality recipes. We were instantly inspired to share versions for our Pesach issue, which was only a few short weeks away from going to print. While serving individual plates of food works in a restaurant setting, our ideal recipe format is familystyle, so we worked to present Gabe’s recipes in this way so that you get to have the best of both worlds: restaurant-level food that can be served in a homestyle way. You can watch Chef Gabe make these dishes on kosher.com.
