Balinese Cooking Class at Spice Bazaar

February 10, 2019 Leoniedukes 0

Today I headed over to the other side of town for a Balinese Cooking Class. I discovered that I had met the teacher, Patrick, last year at the Avoca Food and Wine Festival.

For entree dishes we made chicken skewers and peanut satay sauce, served with Krupuks (an Indonesian prawn cracker)

The chicken satays were sprinkled with crispy shallots, fresh corriander and lemon zest which really finished the dish off beautifully and added a fresh flavour.

The meals were cooked in three groups of five people.

Beef Rendang, spiced pork with ketcup manis, Lawar (bean salad) and steamed rice.

We also made kaffir lime ginger fish cooked in banana leaves, and had black sticky rice with palm sugar and salted cream for deserts.

The meal was served with some very nice wines, and everything worked really well. I will definitely cook the rendang beef, spiced pork and chicken skewers again.
