As part of their curriculum under the guidance of Chef Joseph Tocci, the current SVCI students have spent a great deal of time creating and executing a delicious menu. The dinner begins with copa de sopa de gazpacho, a cold cucumber and pepper soup, followed by an aperitivo or appetizer with the choice of pulpo a la plancha, grilled octopus, or a tortilla Española, a potato and onion omelet. For a salad course, choose between a pipirrana ensalada or tomatoes, onions, garlic, bell peppers salad with sherry vinaigrette or an ensalada verde, which is a mixed greens, Manchego, pepitas and marinated olives with a citrus vinaigrette. The main course will be a choice of chuleta de cordero, a lamb chop with patatas bravas, romesco sauce and sautéed asparagus or a pisto con arroz de saffron, which is Spanish vegetable stew with saffron rice. Enjoy a brazo de gitano, a chocolate roulade with Chantilly crème, port reduction garnished with mint for dessert.
