This time we go to the San Juan de Dios market … to shop in the stalls for the various unpronounceable ingredients.
Xoconostle is a pale, almost white tuna ... the fruit of the nopal ... and different from the red ones normally seen.
Verdolagas is a highly regarded leaf vegetable enjoyed world round ... except for north of the border, where ... silly people ... it is regarded as a weed.
There will be a demonstration of the old ways of making the soup … and any modern adaptions necessary
The chicken for the soup stock will likely be free range as it has a distinctive flavor. Thankfully, here will not be a demonstration of the early stages of preparation.
There will also be other accompaniments demonstrated along with fresh, hand made tortillas. If you need a vegetarian option, let us know in advance.
You can attend the Market tour ($150 pesos) … the Experience ($350 pesos) … or both ($450 pesos)
Reservations are strongly recommended as the classes are limited in size. If you have reserved and paid in advance, your place is assured.
