Iron Chef: {Chocolate}


With Alex coming off conqueror at Iron Chef: {Pineapple} it was his turn to choose our next ingredient.

Join us at Canyon Terrace #10 on 
September 18th at 5:00pm
for Iron Chef: {Chocolate}

Reminder:
Chocolate must be in your dish, in some way.

You can collaborate but keep groups small.

RSVP on the Facebook Event (<--click here) or I will not expect you to come - We do this for numbers and to know how many cups/plates/etc to have on hand, not to exclude. Don't take it that way.  

If you are not a member of the group or cannot see the event page, message me on Facebook.




Hint (to win):
Show up on time, not MST (Mormon Standard Time)
Bring enough of your dish so everyone can try it, if they can't try it they most likely will not vote for it

Get to work on your recipes and we'll see you next weekend!

Iron Chef: {Pineapple} - Results

Given that this was a first time thing for almost everyone attending, I was very surprised with the turnout and the recipes. Since I know pictures are more interesting than my rambling, I'll just let you get on to the photos:

Pineapple Empanadas in the making

Spencer eating before we "started"

Adam putting the ice cream into his and Jacob's tropical floats

Jacob really took the secret ingredient seriously

Trevor's vision: Pizza wrapped around a pineapple. Creative idea, but he took it out of the cylinder he cooked it in too early and it started to fall.

Tropical Floats with a secret surprise - ham.

Pineapple Empanadas - Yum! (but I'm biased)

Emily and Bobby made stuffed peppers with rice, cheese, chicken and pineapple.

that would be the ham...

Our Iron Chef: Provo voting box

And the winner! Alex attempted a Pineapple Granita - The texture was unlike a granita but more of a sorbet/more solid smoothie.

In true Iron Chef creative fashion Alex made his recipe a little different than your standard granita - he added red chili pepper flakes. One day I'll get over the fact that I helped him find a recipe only 4 hours before Iron Chef started. One day.
