Expanding Your Restaurant Style Menus

If you’re looking to expand the variety of foods and cooking techniques for your restaurant style menus, try braising. Here at Creekside at the Village in Columbus, Chef Jason is currently running barbeque braised short ribs. After marinating the ribs in a barbeque marinade, the ribs are slowly braised until tender. They are cooled overnight in the cooking vessel and individually wrapped in plastic wrap the following day. To cook to order, we put an order of the wrapped ribs in the steamer until hot, then cut them out of the plastic and ladle a little of the marinade that has been reduced. They come out fork tender like they were made that day. This will help expand your possibilities and create more ideas for those who feel limited when creating a restaurant style menu!
