Part of the fun of attending the Greenwich WINE + FOOD Festival presented by PepsiCo is not only the endless samples of wine, food, and spirits, but also the chef demos, where attendees can watch some of their favorite chefs in action. For 2019, Chef David Rose, (Food Network, Celebrity Chef and Chef Judge, and a national brand ambassador), demonstrated how to make his Oxtail Fried Rice, for which he graciously shares the recipe.
Chef David Rose
Chef David Rose grew up eating well in New Jersey as his Jamaican parents were both professional chefs, inspiring him to pursue a culinary career. He graduated summa cum laude from Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Arts College in Tucker, Georgia. Calling Atlanta home for more than a decade, his bold culinary style is infused with his French culinary training melded with southern elements, and deftly sprinkled and seasoned with the Jamaican spices he grew up, and Asian ingredients to keep things interesting on the palate.
We had the pleasure of attending Chef David Rose’s cooking demo at the 2019 Greenwich WINE + FOOD Festival presented by PepsiCo held in Roger Sherwin Baldwin Park in Greenwich, Connecticut on Saturday, September 21, 2019 on a beautiful, warm, blue-sky day.
Chef David Rose is an engaging chef who knows how to entertain as well as how to educate. He started off his demo by reminding the audience that we cook with all 5 senses, and when we heat a pan, we need to wait and listen to the sizzle to know when the pan is hot. For his oxtail fried rice, he stated that you want to get a nice hard sear on all sides of the oxtail to retain the juices in the meat; cooking about 4-5 minutes to brown all sides of the oxtail so that it will retain its shape when you add the braising liquid.
Chef David Rose Cooking Demo
His tip for the braising liquid is to deglaze with wine because wine or alcohol makes it better. Sake or plum wine work nicely as well. Cooking with wine or other alcohol helps to retain the flavor but removes the alcohol.
After the demo, Chef David Rose portioned out his Oxtail Fried Rice for the audience to enjoy. Bon Appetit!
