Starting with dry heat, the chef will sear protein to seal in juices and create flavor. He will then add liquid, cover and cook it low and slow. The result is always a tender and delicious dish that creates its own sauce, and the stove does all the work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cvent.com\/events\/aarp-hi-braising-fast-healthy-and-ono-cooking-hawaii-9-18-2020\/registration-C6808FBC740C43E1AFDC1BE7BF3BAF0C.aspx\">Register via AARP.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information, contact Jackie Boland at <a href=\"mailto:jboland@aarp.org\">jboland@aarp.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>About Chef Daniel Swift<\/h2>\n<p>Swift has worked in the restaurant business since 1985.
