American Cuisine
Our nation is a complex cultural melting pot, and its cuisine reflects that. Known for being regionally distinct, as well as a diverse fusion of global cuisine, cuisine has such specialties as New England clambakes, Pennsylvania Dutch cooking, Memphis and St. Louis barbecue, the Cajun flair of Louisiana, Chicago deep dish pizzas, and Tex-Mex cook-offs. Chef Ravi opens his American style cuisine with an All-American, rustic meatloaf, garlic chicken with flame roasted peppers, and a fire roasted stuffed pepper. Enjoy!
Rustic Meatloaf
Chef Ravi meticulously chars onions, garlic, and tomatoes to bring out the natural sugars of these ingredients with a soft texture. A unique blend of Teff flour, flax seed and eggs serve as a gluten-free binding agent that also aid in optimal digestion health. Combined with cilantro and other herbs, the meatloaf is immersed in a liquid base of chicken stock and a Caribbean white rum kick, covered, and steamed to allow flavor absorption and tender texture. Along with the remaining torched veggies, Chef Ravi compiles a saucy layer to dress the meat to perfection.

Flame-roasted bell peppers and onions don’t just put this dish over the top in great taste, their flavors run through and through the chicken. Chef Ravi carefully chars the pepper skins and onions, adding herbs and garlic to blend into the marinade. After grilling the chicken, the vegetable mixture tops off this healthy dinner with a sweet and smoky perfection.

Fire-Roasted Stuffed Peppers
These stuffed bell peppers could be described as zesty, juicy, picante, and essentially anything but bland. With torched skins of jalapeños and habaneros, Chef Ravi carefully sweetens up the heat from these peppers and mixes flavors of thyme and cinnamon basil into the lean turkey mixture. And just before the bell peppers are spilling over with this spicy blend, ricotta cheese lays over the top to tame the heat with its creamy texture to cool your lips in a surge of flavor.
