MORGAN PARK — Smith Village's executive chef Gautham Rao will host a healthy cooking demonstration at 7 p.m. June 27 at the retirement community at 2320 W. 113th Place in Morgan Park.
Rao will share his recipe for Greek pork chops, roasted vegetables and a wheat salad as part of the 19th Ward Healthy Summer Campaign. The pork chops are marinated in brine, which makes them extra tender and juicy, the chef said in a written statement.
“It can also be prepared with fresh oregano, cucumber and lite yogurt, so it’s very light for summer. There are no heavy gravies,” Rao said.
Three vendors from the 95th Street Farmers Market will have their products featured as part of the cooking demo that will take place in the community hall at Smith Village: C&D Family Farms of Knox, Ind., The Urban Canopy and Stamper Cheese.
The public is invited to taste free samples and take home recipe cards. For more information, contact Art Youkerd at Smith Village at 773-474-7300.
