Wednesday Chefs

Wine Sales Benefit: Team Indiana

Katia Hundley, Fernando’s Mexican & Brazilian Cuisine Cindy Hawkins and affiliated chefs, Team Indiana

Wednesday’s Menu:

FIRST COURSE Feijoada
This traditional Brazilian stew is made primarily with black beans and a variety of meats, including pork, beef, and sausage. It’s often considered the national dish of Brazil and is typically served with rice, collard greens, orange slices, and farofa (toasted cassava flour).
SECOND COURSE Coxinha
A popular Brazilian snack, coxinha consists of dough filled with shredded chicken, often mixed with cream cheese or spices.
THIRD COURSE Pão de Queijo
This traditional Brazilian cheese bread is made from tapioca flour, which gives it a unique chewy texture. These small, round rolls are typically filled with cheese, often using a combination of queijo Minas (a soft, white cheese) and other cheeses like parmesan.
FOURTH COURSE Brazilian Chicken Stroganoff, or “Strogonoff de Frango”
A creamy and flavorful dish, this is a combination of tender pieces of chicken with a rich sauce made from cream, mushrooms, onions, and sometimes tomatoes.
FIFTH COURSE Pudim
This beloved Brazilian dessert resembles a flan or caramel custard.

Friday’s Menu:

FIRST COURSE English Potato Leek Soup
A comforting classic British soup, this is a velvety blend of tender potatoes and sauteed leeks, simmered with a touch of cream and fragrant herbs.
SECOND COURSE Rospo (Toad) in a Hole
A delightful blend of British and Italian flavors, this dish features Italian sausages and bell peppers sauteed and then nestled in a golden Yorkshire pudding batter. Baked to perfection and served with a rich tomato and herb gravy, it is a unique twist on tradition, bringing the best of both worlds to your plate.
THIRD COURSE Handmade Fettuccini with Bologenese Sauce
Originating from the city of Bologna, Italy, this sauce is slow-cooked with beef and pork for hours to develop a deep rich, savory flavor, then served with fresh fettuccini made with two types of flour from the mills of Italy.
FOURTH COURSE Sausage Rolls
Originating from London’s early 1800s food scene, this buttery puff pastry baked to golden perfection gives a delightful flakiness and crispy texture to accompany the hearty filling of British Cumberland sausage.
FIFTH COURSE Pizzelle Shell Cannoli
A delightful fusion of Italian and British—cannoli, which was created in Caltanissetta, Sicily, around the 10th century, is combined with the British love of chocolate and zesty orange. A vanilla waffle cookie is baked into a round tube and filled with a rich canolli cheese and orange filling, then sprinkled with mini chocolate morsels and powdered sugar.
