Class Overview:

Smoked Salmon Crostini

Start the evening with a light and flavorful appetizer of smoked salmon served on toasted crostini. The rich, smoky taste of the salmon is balanced by the crispy texture of the bread, making it a perfect opening bite. Paired with a crisp white wine, this course sets the tone for a refreshing yet indulgent dining experience.

Grilled Pork Tenderloin & Chimichurri
The main course features tender pork tenderloin grilled to perfection and served with a vibrant, herbaceous chimichurri sauce. Accompanying the pork are two side dishes: a creamy Tahini Caesar Potato Salad, offering a modern twist on a classic, and grilled green beans, adding a fresh, slightly charred element. A robust red wine will be paired to highlight the depth of flavors and complement the savory notes of the pork and chimichurri.

Brûléed Banana Pudding
The evening concludes with a delightful dessert—banana pudding, finished with a caramelized, brûléed top. The sweet, creamy banana pudding, with its crunchy brûléed sugar layer, offers a perfect balance of textures and flavors to end the meal. A sweet dessert wine will be served to enhance the caramelized flavors of this indulgent treat.
