Masters champion Jon Rahm is bringing plenty of Spanish flavor to the Masters Club dinner for champions next month.
The cocktail reception will have gernika peppers, grown in a town in the Basque region of Spain when Rahm grew up. There also will be gildas, which he described as an anchovy skewer with peppers and olives.
"A lot of things are not people's favorites, but it's something that's very common in the Basque country," Rahm said Tuesday during a conference call for the Masters.Among the appetizers is lentil stew --"Lentejas Estofadas" is how it is listed on the official menu -- which came from his grandmother's recipe.
By the sound of it, Rahm poured as much effort into the menu as he did for the Masters, where last year he outdueledThe Masters Club, also known as the Champions Dinner, dates to 1952 when Ben Hogan organized a dinner for past champions. The dinner is only for Masters champions, with the club chairman invited as an honorary member."I wanted to put a little bit of my heritage and my family into this dinner, which is going to make it even more special," Rahm said.
The appetizers include acorn-fed Iberian ham and cured pork loin, known as"Ibericos." There's also a Spanish omelet with potatoes and"Croquet de Pollo," which he described as creamy chicken fritters with potatoes. There's also"Chistorra con Patata," a spicy chorizo.Chuleton is a Basque ribeye that is seared and served already cut, with a hot plate that allows guests to cook it to the temperature of their choosing.
"Most people in northern Spain go about as much as medium rare," Rahm said."If you go past that, you're going to get a weird look just because that's how we are."And if there's room left for dessert, Rahm is serving"Milhojas de Crema y Nata," a puff pastry cake with custard and cream that was featured at Rahm's wedding.
