Sweet Peppers in the Spanish Kitchen with Camila Loew
Six Dutchess in the Kitchen | Live, Hands-On Virtual Class
Taught by Camila Loew, hosted by Six Dutchess Farm.
Although peppers come from the New World, where would Spanish cuisine be without them? They are so clearly instilled into people's kitchens, that many traditional recipes from different regions of Spain include them--starting with the Spanish version of sofrito, the flavor base of almost every recipe!
In this class we will explore some of Camila's favorite ways to use peppers during their season of abundance, including her perhaps all-time favorite, a recipe from her recent The Sobremesa Cookbook: romesco sauce; if you have tried it before, making it at home will convert you forever! You will also learn some technical feats, such as making your own homemade mayo, which is also a genre in itself when compared to the store-bought version.
Here's our menu for the afternoon
Escalivada (Roasted Fall Vegetables) with Freshly-Made Romesco Sauce
Coca de recapte (Catalan Flatbread)
Stuffed Peppers with Mushrooms and Homemade Mayo Gratin
This class will be limited to 15 registrants, first-come, first-served.
