Signature Chefs of Orlando 86 - Empanadas & More

At the Signature Chefs of Orlando, the use of the NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grill has taken center stage for creating mouthwatering dishes like Empanadas and other grilled delights. The asado grill, renowned for its ability to impart rich, smoky flavors through wood or charcoal grilling, provides the perfect cooking environment for these traditional Latin American treats.

• Empanadas: Chefs at the event use the grill to prepare empanadas by cooking them over an open flame, allowing the dough to develop a beautifully crispy, charred exterior while the filling—whether beef, chicken, cheese, or vegetables—remains tender and juicy. The smoky heat from the asado grill adds an extra layer of flavor that elevates these hand-held pies beyond the usual oven-baked variety.
• More Grilled Specialties: In addition to empanadas, the chefs are utilizing the asado grill's versatility to cook a variety of other dishes, such as grilled vegetables, sausages, and meats. The adjustable height of the grill’s grates allows for precise control over the cooking process, ensuring everything from delicate items like vegetables to heartier cuts of meat are cooked to perfection.

The NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grill offers a true taste of traditional South American grilling, and at the Signature Chefs of Orlando, it’s being used to recreate authentic flavors while showcasing the creativity of modern chefs. The combination of expertly grilled empanadas and other dishes highlights the grill’s role in bringing bold, dynamic flavors to the event, making it a hit among attendees.

This celebration of both tradition and innovation in grilling demonstrates the NorCal Ovenworks Asado Grill’s role as a culinary centerpiece at events like Signature Chefs of Orlando.
