How about I share some recipes with you?

In my opinion when a recipe has a little worksheet that my students can complete while I am demonstrating the dish, they tend to pay more attention because I am sharing the answers while I am cooking. Voila, a very focussed class!

Smoked Chicken Confit & Mushroom Tarte tatin
2 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed
2 smoked chicken breasts ( skin on)
250 g brown mushrooms
15 ml olive oil
2 shallots, finely sliced

Micro salad leaves for garnishing


Method:

  1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 degrees C.
  2. Line  and grease 4 x (11cm) tart pans with foil.

  4. Refrigerate until needed.
  5. Remove chicken skin and set aside.
