Join Chilean-born Chef Jose Montan, Chef de Partie at Edmonton's acclaimed Olia Ristorante, for an evening exploring the iconic street food sandwiches of Chile and Argentina. Chef Jose will teach you how to make a Chilean Fish Sandwich — a northern coastal classic originally made by fishermen and their families from their fresh catch — combining deep-fried rockfish fillets, a fresh Chilean salad, and homemade milk mayonnaise. Next up is a classic Argentinian Milanesa.
Originating in Tucumán, the Milanesa was inspired by the cotoletta alla milanese brought over by Italian immigrants, featuring herb-crusted, tenderised beef that's double-breaded and fried, then layered with black forest ham, havarti, and sunny-side-up eggs. Provenzal potatoes round out the meal, with techniques covered including breading and deep-frying, knife work, beef tenderising, and emulsified sauces.
