SUMMARY:COMMUNAL PICNIC: Global Fusion | Greg Couillard
DESCRIPTION:The Depanneur + The Bentway Communal Picnic 2021 \nPre-order online until TUE Aug 31\, 10pm\nPick up on THU Sep 2\, 6-7pm at The Bentway\nChef Greg Couillard is best known for his unique and eclectic mix of Caribbean\, Asian\, Latin\, and Indian flavours and ingredients. He has forged a reputation as a fearless culinary innovator\, a kind of supercollider of food ideas\, smashing them together with incredible force\, producing novel and exotic new dishes for lucky diners to marvel at. Chef Greg’s 30+ year culinary legacy has left an indelible impression on fine dining in Toronto\, opening eyes\, minds & palates to the incredible culinary diversity of our city. For this dinner\, Greg takes a journey down the old Silk Road\, following the ancient trail of spices from Southeast Asia through India and Central Asia on their way to the Mediterranean and Europe.\n—– \nMogul Chowder\nFabulously wealthy from the spice trade\, and flush with the abundant produce of the subcontinent\, the refined courts of the Mogul Empire were home to a fabulously luxurious cuisine. This complex and layered curried squash and leek chowder is rich with coconut cream and finished with roasted corn and cilantro. \nGolden Shwedagon Kumquat Chili Roasted Chicken\nOnce a very remote kingdom\, Burma became a source of incredible wealth for its British colonizers\, producing copious spices\, rubies\, timber and more. The colonial capital Rangoon is famous for its immense gilded Buddhist shrines like the Shwedagon pagoda. The glinting golden colour\, and the exotic fragrance of fresh kumquats (aromatic miniature oranges originating from China) inspires this spicy roast chicken dish.\n-or-\nGoan Crazy Vegetable Curry\nGoa\, an ancient city on the West coast of India that became a Portuguese trading outpost was home to a remarkably multicultural population\, including the largest community of Sephardic jews in India\, and developed many unique dishes as a result. This fragrant curry’s ingredients — chickpeas\, eggplant\, red pepper\, yam and tomato — would be as at home in the Mediterranean as they were in South Asia. \nBoth dishes are served with stir-fried yu choy mustard greens and jasmine rice. \nFinger Banoffee Cake\nTropical date and banana palms inspire this dark & sticky “toffee pudding” — rich spiced date cake glazed with a salted caramel sauce — topped with miniature finger bananas.\n—– \nContains wheat\, dairy \nChicken\, Vegetarian or 1/2+1/2\nGlobal Fusion Picnic for 2 $59 • for 4 $109 • for 6 $159 \n⬇️ ORDER BELOW ⬇️ \n\n\nPay It Forward\nAt check out\, you will be given the opportunity to either contribute towards a supplemental Pay It Forward meal. For every Pay It Forward meal purchased\, The Depanneur and The Bentway will work together to provide a second meal to double the impact of your generosity. All Pay it Forward funds will be used to create fresh meals for the The Fort York-Spadina Community Care Program; @spafycc \n\nIt would not be hyperbole to suggest that Greg Couillard is one of the most influential chefs in Toronto’s culinary history. Through groundbreaking restaurants like The Parrot\, Stelle\, Avec\, Sarkis\, The Spice Room and many others\, his prescient embrace of this city’s multicultural flavours and ingredients revolutionized fine dining in Toronto\, and foreshadowed the eclectic\, international menus many now take for granted. Chef Greg’s latest project includes a new line of hot sauces called No Refund — Too Hot? Too Bad!

SUMMARY:COMMUNAL PICNIC: Indonesia | NaiNai/Chef Elita
DESCRIPTION:The Depanneur + The Bentway Communal Picnic 2021 \nPre-order online until TUE Jul 6\, 10pm\nPick up on THU Jul 8\, 6-7pm at The Bentway\nWith more than 17\,000 islands populated by more than 300 different ethnic groups\, Indonesian cuisine has incredible breadth\, depth and variety. Home of the original “Spice Islands”\, Indonesia has been a culinary destination for centuries\, sharing spices like nutmeg and clove with the rest of the world while absorbing and reimagining Indian\, Chinese\, Arabic\, Thai and Dutch influences. Indonesian food boasts many unique flavours\, textures and ingredients worth exploring\, and tonight Chef Elita of NaiNai Noodles shares a few distinctive and authentic Indonesian recipes.\n—– \nGado Gado\nAn addictive Indonesian salad; deceptively simply\, infinitely variable\, always delicious. A mix of veggies like long green beans\, lettuce\, sweet corn and bean sprouts\, dressed in a complex and spicy peanut sauce. \nJagung Bakar\nThis popular Indonesian street food — grilled corn with a sweet & spicy chili glaze — complete the picnic mood. \nBeef Rendang\nIn a 2011 online poll held by CNN International\, rendang was chosen as the number one dish of the ‘World’s 50 Most Delicious Foods’. Rendang is a style of curry-like stew popular in Sumatra and Malaysia\, characterized by a long slow cooking in coconut milk such that the sugars caramelize and the liquid largely evaporates\, making the sauce relatively dry. The spices used in rendang\, lemongrass\, garlic\, shallot\, ginger and galangal\, have antimicrobial properties and serve as natural preservatives. A popular but labour-intensive dish\, it’s often served on special occasions.\n-or-\nTempeh Satay\nTempeh is a denser\, more toothsome relative of tofu native to Indonesia. Made from fermented whole soybeans\, here it is marinated in a sweet soy glaze and cooked on an open flame grill; comes with peanut sauce\, sliced shallots and chopped chilies. \nBoth mains are served with jasmine rice\, jackfruit curry\, mixed vegetable stir fry and special green chili sambal. \nSingkong Lumer\nSweet cassava pudding made from grated cassava cooked with palm sugar\, pandan leaf and topped with creamy coconut milk sauce\n—– \nContains peanuts\, soy \nBeef\, Vegetarian\, or 1/2+1/2\nIndonesian Picnic for 2 $59 • for 4 $109 • for 6 $159 \nTHIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT!\nORDERING FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW CLOSED. PICKUP IS THU 6-7PM AT THE BENTWAY\n\nPay It Forward\nAt check out\, you will be given the opportunity to either contribute towards a supplemental Pay It Forward meal. For every Pay It Forward meal purchased\, The Depanneur and The Bentway will work together to provide a second meal to double the impact of your generosity. All Pay it Forward funds will be used to create fresh meals for the The Fort York-Spadina Community Care Program; @spafycc \n\nChef Elita learned her craft from several generations of family chefs; her grandmother founded a popular noodle restaurant in Central Jakarta that has been a local staple for over 3 decades\, and now owns a noodle factory in Indonesia. Her Mother continued the restaurant business with Elita at her hip. Those indelible experiences have inspired Elita to bring her own authentic Indonesian meals to Toronto. As a food entrepreneur\, she has catered for the Indonesian embassy and has recently launched NaiNai Noodles\, an Indonesian noodle bar and take out restaurant on King St. W.\nIG @nainai.noodles | nainainoodles.com \n\n
