‘A Dish From Dean’ – Delicious!

LIVE It Experience It member chef Dean Coppard is a chef who cooks with soul. He opened up our region’s first Australian restaurant in Armagh, Uluru Bistro, and has since been working as an executive chef and development chef in kitchens across the North. Here’s the latest ‘Dish From Dean’ – Spiced pork pot stickers with Asian slaw & Burren Balsamic vinaigrette so feel free to share with your friends.

This Sunday, Dean is sharing his spiced pork pot stickers with Asian slaw and Burren Balsamics vinaigrette. It is important for Dean to source the best ingredients possible. Burren Balsamic is a local producer in the Food Heartland area so it makes it even more poignant for Dean to use the artisan producer. The team at Burren Balsamics are constantly developing their range and with the inclusion of a citrus, blood orange and cardamom, truffle and a seasonal wild garlic, recently added to their outstanding range, Dean finds their diversity in flavors fantastic while they continue to maintain their high standard of taste lending itself to Dean’s style of cooking.
