Giada At Home season 4 episode 21 titled "Go Fly a Kite" is a culinary adventure with celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis taking us through an exciting journey of delicious recipes while getting some fresh air that's much needed in our everyday lives.
In this episode, Giada starts by visiting a shop to pick up some colorful kites, the perfect distraction for a beautiful day. As she sets up the kites to fly high in the sky, she prepares a delicious menu inspired by the idea of soaring high above. The recipes include a variety of colorful and playful dishes that are perfect for a picnic or just a day out in the sun.
One of the signature dishes in this episode is the avocado hummus. The combination of creaminess from the avocado and the traditional chickpea base delivers a silky, delectable flavor. Two birds with one stone, the dish is perfect as an appetizer or as part of the main meal. Quick, easy and a crowd pleaser!
Moving on, Giada then prepares a refreshing citrus salad consisting of oranges, pomelo and grapefruits tossed together with goat cheese and seasoned with a blend of herbs to give it an extraordinary flavor. The dish is light and refreshing, making it perfect to pair with the heavier dishes.
To complement the light and refreshing salad, Giada offers up her recipe for Prosciutto-Wrapped Chicken with Cherry Sauce and it is precisely what it sounds like - delicious! The chicken is stuffed with a blend of creamy ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, and fragrant herbs, further wrapped in tender prosciutto and roasted to perfection. The cherry sauce adds a sweet yet tangy taste that complements the dish beautifully.
Next on the menu is the marinated grilled flank steak. The steak is seasoned with an irresistible mix of spices including cumin, smoked paprika, and chili powder. Giada marinates the steak for an hour with a homemade vinaigrette for that extra flavor boost and when it's grilled, it's moist, succulent and juicy. The steak is served along with some fresh Pico de Gallo for the ultimate taste experience.
Finally, as the kites soar above and the sun beats down, Giada finishes with a sweet dish - brown sugar shortbread cookies. Made with an indulgent shortbread base, the cookies are delicately flavored with fresh rosemary and brown sugar. They are the perfect way to end a summer day, served with a scoop of ice cream or a drizzle of honey.
