Looking to elevate your next taco night from standard to spectacular? Join us at The Key Room for a hands-on culinary workshop dedicated to the ultimate accent of Mexican cuisine: the salsa.
From fresh and raw to deeply roasted and cooked, homemade salsas bring vibrant, versatile flavors to everything from simple rice and tortillas to grilled meats and charred veggies. Every region in Mexico boasts its own perfect pairings, and in this class, you’ll master the secrets behind them. We’ll get hands-on with traditional molcajetes, sharpen our knife skills, and work with an array of dried and fresh chiles. Plus, we’ll cover the essential basics of cooking perfect, homestyle Mexican beans.
What You’ll Make and Take Home:
- Prepare and taste traditional Salsa Asada, oil-based Salsa Macha and tangy Tomatillo Avocado Salsa.
- Prepare simple Corn Masa Sopes for tasting.
- Take home a jar of Jalapeños en Escabeche (pickled jalapeños)
