Description
We will go to the market to buy ingredients to cook together a delicious Oaxacan breakfast and then we will prepare a main dish. I will tell you about the flavors and traditions.
We will meet at a location in the center and head to a market to shop together. Then we will go to our village, located 20 minutes from the center.
We will start with chocolate and bread. We will then prepare our breakfast: tortillas, memelitas, tetelas, empanadas, and three traditional molcajete sauces. During the process, we will explain the flavors, techniques, and traditions related to the ingredients and dishes. Now it's time to enjoy breakfast! We will talk about Oaxacan culture and the history of its cuisine.
We will now prepare our lunch: yellow mole, green mole, black mole, or coloradito. The goal is to understand the flavors, names, differences, and how ingredients can be substituted when they are not available. Other noteworthy aspects If you need to eat breakfast earlier, please try to keep it light, as we will have a lot of food to taste.
No cooking skills are necessary, just a desire to learn about Oaxacan culinary culture. If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please let us know so we can adjust the ingredients.
