Nacional 27, a Chicago restaurant from Lettuce Entertain You Enterprises, recently welcomed executive chef Cory Morris to the helm. With the change, Morris, a mentee of José Garces, is now serving a new menu that includes a modernized spin on ají de gallina, a creamy chicken stew from Peru. Morris transforms this traditional dish into croquettes made with chicken, walnuts, ají amarillo (yellow Peruvian chiles) and Parmesan cheese, coated in egg and panko breadcrumbs and then fried.
