Tonight, we have a fresh class perfect for showing off those grill skills- with an Italian twist. In this unique class, we're taking the best of Italian cuisine to the grill, proving that Italian cooking isn't just pasta and pizza. Join us for an evening of fire, flavor, and fun as we master the art of Italian grilling. You'll start by assembling colorful Antipasto Skewers, a perfect bite-sized introduction to Italy's favorite snack. Stack fresh grape tomatoes, basil, mozzarella balls, olives, pepperoncini, and thin sliced salami for an easy (and portable!) appetizer.
Next, you will assemble a Panzanella salad of lightly scored, hearty bread tossed with cucumbers, tomatoes, basil and a light dressing. Keep the grill going for zucchini charred and topped with a creamy and peppery ricotta blend. Pair this with grilled potatoes and that rounds out our sides.
The star of our feast is Grilled Chicken Diavola. You’ll learn to make a simple seasoned marinade of herbs, tomatoes and red pepper flakes to season your grilled chicken. For dessert, we're reimagining a classic: Tiramisu on the Grill (aka Grilla-misu). We'll show you how to give lady fingers a subtle smoky char, adding an unexpected twist to this beloved dessert. It's a hands-on journey through Italy's diverse culinary landscape, all from the comfort of our Kansas City kitchen. No passport required, just bring your appetite for adventure!
Tonight's featured cocktail for purchase is a classic Italian Aperol Spritz.
