Tuesday 3 March . Xoconostle and verdolagas soup

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. 

Market tour … San Juan de Dios Church … noon … go down Canal, turn right on San Antonio about mid-way down ... and it is 1 block over.

Experience … at the restaurant … 1:00.

Reservations by email (link here).  Payments at the restaurant.
