Sheridan Tech School of Culinary Arts on NBC 6

September 19th, 2011
No comments

On Monday, September 19, 2011 Sheridan Tech’s School of Culinary Arts had an appearance on Live Miami on NBC 6. View the MiamiNBC.com segment here.

Below is the recipe for the dishes we prepared.

 Seared Scallops with Mango puree and Kiwi puree

 Scalloped Potato Napoleon
Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
• 1 sprig fresh thyme
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• Butter
• 2 pounds russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/8-inch thick slices
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for broiling
Directions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
In a saucepan, heat up the cream with a sprig of thyme, chopped garlic and nutmeg.
While cream is heating up, butter a casserole dish. Place a layer of potato in an overlapping pattern and season with salt and pepper. Remove cream from heat, then pour a little over the potatoes. Top with some grated Parmesan. Make 2 more layers. Bake, uncovered, for 45 minutes. Sprinkle some more Parmesan and broil until cheese browns, about 5 minutes.
For our presentation, after potatoes had cooled slightly, we used a biscuit cutter to form the potato stack. We layered in slices of red bell pepper (using same biscuit cutter) to form the Potato Napoleon. Plate was finished with micro greens and fresh orange slices.
*For Mango puree, simply place a mango in the food processor and puree. For Kiwi puree, simply place 2 kiwi fruit in the food processor and puree
**Scallops were lightly seasoned with salt and pepper and seared in a pan with cooking spray

Sheridan Tech celebrated the Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting of the Alternative Energy Lab at Sheridan Technical Center on Wednesday June 22nd. The programs offered in the Alternative Energy Lab include Solar Photovoltaic, Weatherization, LEED training and Solar Thermal Installation. Sheridan’s involvement with the Broward Alliance Green Think Tank presented an opportunity to join forces with OIC and Broward Minority Builders in the pursuit of two large DOL stimulus grants…POP (Pathways out of Poverty) and ETP (Energy Training Partnership) to develop this state of the art lab and training programs.

These grants focused on high quality workforce training in green areas targeted to low income residents of Broward County. The overall objectives of the grants were job placement, job retention, or job advancement in energy efficiency or energy generation fields.

For More information on the Green Ready Training Programs, call 754-321-5400 or visit us on the web at www.sheridantechnical.com.
