About the class
Learn how to make Mole by toasting and blending sweet and earthy ingredients and spices including dried chiles, peanuts, sesame seeds, chocolate, cinnamon and anise. Serve it as a main course over chicken, or with enchiladas tacos, and burritos.
Also learn to make Pipian verde, a green, pumpkinseed-based sauce, is one of those bedrock dishes in Mexican cuisine that, like chili or gumbo, has as many variations as it has cooks. This is my version.
